Pat and dry fish fillets.

Sprinkle both sides with a pinch or two of salt and pepper.

Squirt juice from 1/2 of the lemon and drizzle the coconut milk over top.

Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate.

Lay fillets carefully in the skillet and cook, flipping fish halfway through cooking, until both sides are golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Three to five minutes per side for thin fillets, longer if they're thicker.
