Quick and Easy Fish Piccata Recipe | Perfect Fish Recipe for Dinner by Lounging with Lenny

Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik

There are two types of lazy cooking. There is the “who cares” school in which the cook has given up entirely: whatever ends up on the plate is food whether you like it or not. Then there is the lazy approach in which the cook strives for efficiency and effortless invention. The cook still cares about the latter approach but also knows that not every meal has to be a baroque masterpiece. I have been both types of cook in my personal life and I am not ashamed of it but I am happiest when I am the latter type because I cook smarter instead of harder and the results speak for themselves.

This recipe for fish piccata with pan-fried fillets in a lemon butter sauce with capers and parsley is the perfect example. It’s easy. So easy. But it also has a few key details that set it apart from most other fish piccata recipes. No overly complicated details just subtle attention to good technique here and there to make this recipe a showstopper with little extra effort.
