Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper.

  8. Using a spatula, carefully remove the fish from the skillet and set them aside.
  9. Stir the sour cream into the skillet, mixing until it is well incorporated into the sauce.
  10. Adjust the seasoning of the sauce with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  11. Plate the fish fillets, generously spooning the paprika sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
