Ingredients:
– 4 fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 lemon, thinly sliced
– 1 tablespoon butter

Dill Sauce:
– 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish Fillets:

2. Cook the Fish Fillets:
– In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
– Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
– Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
