Notes
Laying the fish away from you instead of toward your body will ensure that you won't get splashed with oil if it happens to splatter when it is going into the hot pan.
Your fish may be done anywhere from 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness and size of the fillets and the heat of your pan. When the fish looks like it has turned white all the way through, pull it off the heat.
