Easy Sautéed Fish Fillets
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/easy_sauteed_fish_fillets.html
From EatingWell: April/May 2005, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008), July/August 2011Here’s an easy method for quickly cooking fish fillets. We love the simplicity of just using salt and pepper to season the flour for dredging, but feel free to get creative and experiment with other seasonings. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne; for a smoky flavor, add a touch of smoked paprika; try white pepper, a common ingredient in Chinese cooking, instead of black pepper if you’re pairing the fish with the Black Bean-Scallion Sauce.
4 servings | Active Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes

Preparation
- Combine flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Thoroughly dredge fillets; discard any leftover flour.
