1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 tablespoon margarine or butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 green onions, chopped

Rinse fish and pat dry. put flour in a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge fillets in flour, patting to remove excess. Combine garlic, wine, lime juice and margarine in a small bowl.

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add fillets without overlapping (you may need to cook in 2 batches). Cook until golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque through center, 1-2 minutes more.

Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Add wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up cooked bits, until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes. Stir in onions and heat about 30 seconds. Pour sauce over fish and serve.
