Lemon Mushroom Pickerel Fillets
Makes 2 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 Fisherfolk Pickerel fillets
1 lemon (juiced)
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup white onion (diced)
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
1-2 sprigs fresh parsely
1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare your mushrooms, onions, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice
Season the pickerel fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the fillets (skin side down first) for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add extra oil if needed.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice and 1/2 cup white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened.
Add back the pickerel and spoon the lemon-infused mushroom sauce over the fillets.
Garnish with additional parsley.
Enjoy!
Cooking Notes:
These fillets are amazing served by themselves, but also pair amazingly on rice!
For an even creamier sauce, add 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk when deglazing the pan.
