Pan Fried fish with herbs

I had a delicious and wonderful baked fish with herbs at one of the famous Western restaurant in town. It inspired me to do it myself at home for my family. I have googled some of the recipes online, but some seem too difficult and too much of ingredients which hard to find. In order to simplified the recipe, I added only some of the herbs of my selection. Went to the store, looking for fresh sweet basil but sold out, so just grabbed a packet of marjoram to test it out. Marjoram has strong taste and smell, some sort like fresh mint, so you just need to use minimum amount of it. Hope to get fresh sweet basil and rosemary the next round!

Instead of baked which needs a longer time, I pan fried the fish & saute the herbs. These make my preparation and cooking time shorter and simpler. Thus, I have a healthy and delicious pan fried fish fillet with herbs which became my son's favourite dish now. Hope you will like this simple modified recipe!

Ingredients:
500gm Dory fish fillet, cod fish or snapper
1 handful of Coriander leaves, chopped
1 handful of Spinach, chopped
