Ingredients

  • 2 fillet white fish fillets
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium red radish
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ medium lemon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 2 fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.

  2. 2

    Place the fish in the skillet and cook until golden and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Add the 1 cup green beans and 1 sliced zucchini, and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Slice the 2 radishes thinly and add to the skillet with the juice of half a lemon. Cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits.

  5. 5

    Return the fish to the skillet, spoon the vegetables and sauce over the top, and serve hot.

  6. 6

    Serve the fish and vegetables with the pan sauce spooned over the top.
