butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a nice flavor.

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth maintains moisture without alcohol.

Start by making the sauce with 5 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, melted butter or ghee, and just over a quarter cup (about 5 tablespoons) of extra virgin olive oil.

Add 5 minced garlic cloves to the sauce mixture.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Season 1/3 cup of flour with cumin, coriander, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Dip the fish in the lemon, butter, and olive oil sauce to coat it.

Dredge the fish in the seasoned flour mixture for flavor, not to create a crust.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Check if the oil is ready by splashing a tiny bit of water; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Sear the fish in the skillet for a couple of minutes on each side to get some color, not to fully cook it.

Turn off the heat and add the remaining sauce to the skillet with the fish.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
