FISH IN BROWN BUTTER SAUCE (SOLE MEUNIèRE)

Steps:

• Pat fish dry. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge in flour, and knock off excess. Set aside.
• Heat oil and butter for the fish in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add fish and cook, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes total. Do not overcook.
• Transfer fish to a plate. Discard fat from skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Add butter, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.
• Pour sauce over fish. Serve with lemon wedges.

COD WITH BROWN BUTTER LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the peels from the lemons, revealing the flesh. Cut the segments free from the membranes, then dice and place in a bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons butter and begin to cook, stirring, until the butter begins to brown. Add the brioche, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, continually tossing and swirling the brioche until evenly toasted, about 4 minutes. Remove the croutons to a plate and let cool. Wipe out the pan.
• Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons butter and the oil and begin to cook over the heat, stirring. Add the fish and cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fish and continue to cook, basting occasionally with the butter from the pan, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
• Turn the pan to medium heat and add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Let melt, then add the capers and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Continue to cook until the butter browns, then add the wine, lemon juice and segments and parsley. Swirl together. Spoon the sauce over the fish and garnish with the croutons.

• 12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
• 13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

PAN FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat.
• Season fish on meat side with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. When pan is good and hot, add Canola oil followed immediately by 1 tablespoon butter. As soon as foaming subsides, place fish in pan with the skin side down. Jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking. Cook until golden crust forms on meat. Carefully turn fish away from you and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds. Cook until skin turns golden brown. Remove to a warm plate.
• Pour out the cooking fat, add remaining butter and quickly fry the capers. Remove pan from the heat, add lemon juice to pan and swirl. Pour sauce over the fish and serve.

FRIED FISH WITH BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel and boil the potatoes. Wash and dry the fish on kitchen paper.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan with the oil (the oil stops the butter going too brown), add the fish and fry until tender (about 5-10 minutes), spooning the melted butter over it as it cooks. (The thicker the fish, the longer it will take to cook.).
• Lift the fish carefully onto a warm plate, add a little chopped parsley (if used) to the butter in the pan and heat thoroughly. Pour the buttery juice over the fish and garnish with the lemon slice. Drain the potatoes and serve.
