Fish Fillet with Shrimp & Mashed Potatoes is a refined yet comforting dish featuring pan-seared white fish, succulent shrimp, and creamy mashed potatoes, all topped with a buttery garlic-lemon sauce for a gourmet experience at home.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or sea bass)
  • 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (optional)
  • Optional: Paprika or chili flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Drain and mash the potatoes with butter, milk or cream, and sour cream if using. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Pat fish fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the fish fillets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  6. Add shrimp to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  7. Deglaze the pan with lemon juice (or a splash of white wine, optional).
  8. To plate, spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, top with fish fillet, and arrange shrimp on top.
  9. Drizzle the pan sauce over everything and garnish with parsley and optional paprika or chili flakes.

Notes

  • Cook shrimp and fish fresh for best texture.
  • Use a non-stick or well-oiled skillet to prevent sticking.
  • Sour cream in the mashed potatoes adds tang and creaminess.
  • Deglazing with wine enhances the sauce flavor.
  • Serve with a side of green vegetables for a complete meal.
