Fish in Butter Sauce

Rinse the fish and pat dry. In a large plate, add flour, salt, and pepper. Mix. Pat the fish fillets into the mixture to coat both sides.

Heat a large pan on medium-high heat and once hot, add olive oil. Swirl pan to coat bottom.

Once oil is hot (a little bit of smoke starts to rise from the pan—this happens quickly) add the fish two at a time or just enough not to crowd the fish. Don’t move the fish. Just let it cook for 1 minute. Flip the fish and cook for another minute. If your fish is thicker you’ll have to adjust the cook time accordingly. Remove fish and place onto a new dish and repeat with remaining fish fillets.

Once you’ve finished cooking all the fish, if your pan is cast iron you can take your pan off the heat. Otherwise turn your burner to low. Add butter to melt it and once melted, add lemon juice and parsley. Mix. Add the fish back into the pan and serve. Enjoy this lovely thing!
