Wash the fish fillets, pat them dry with a dry cloth, rub them on all sides with salt and flour them on both sides. Heat the oil in a low and large pan over medium heat, arrange the fillets in the pan and brown them on both sides for 2 '. Set the fillets aside. In the thick pan heat the oil and fry the garlic for 5 'until it appears golden and crunchy, but do not burn it.

Just before serving, put the fillets back in the pan and complete the cooking. Remove from heat and serve with saffron white rice.
