Ingredients:

 

• 4 white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil ️

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Fish

1️⃣ Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3️⃣ In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
