Ingredients
Instructions
-
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
-
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even melting.
-
Once the butter has melted, continue cooking, stirring occasionally. The butter will begin to foam and then turn golden brown. It should have a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
-
Add the minced garlic to the browned butter and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
-
Gently place the seasoned fish fillets into the skillet, making sure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded.
-
Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should easily flake with a fork when done.
-
While the fish is cooking, add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the skillet, swirling to combine with the browned butter.
-
Once the fish is cooked through, transfer the fillets to a serving dish.
-
Spoon the browned butter sauce over the fish. Be sure to include the garlic and any crispy bits from the skillet for extra flavor.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
-
Serve the Browned Butter Fish hot, accompanied by your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
