PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER
A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

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.

BROILED FISH
Mother's secret in preparing this dish was to butter the fish before dusting it with flour. That seals in the moisture and makes the fish so succulent. -Ann Berg, Chesapeake, Virginia

GRILLED FISH WITH A SUN-DRIED BASIL TOMATO BUTTER
A quick, easy dinner. Make the butter for this ahead of time and then just a quick marinate - grill - and serve. I love this with salmon, grouper, or halibut. The marinade is a bit strong for a mild, tender fish such as flounder or tilapia, but the butter is wonderful. Both the marinade and butter works great on chicken, pork and even steak. When using these proteins, I do marinate a bit longer as they need a bit more time to soak in the flavors. Thirty (30) minutes to 1 hour. Serve this with fresh roasted spaghetti squash and a green salad.

Steps:
- Butter -- Mix the butter, tomatoes, basil, and shallots together in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. This can easily be done ahead.
- Fish and Marinade -- Remove the fish from the refrigerator and set on the counter in a small dish. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl and brush on both sides of the fish. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes. This will also let the fish come to room temperature before you cook it.
- Fish -- I prefer to grill this dish. Inside or outside. But you can also pan sear and even broil. Make sure to season the fish well on both sides with salt and pepper before cooking. Use whichever method you prefer. I lightly oiled my grill pan just with a non stick spray and grill on both sides until golden brown and firm to the touch. I can't give exact cooking times, because each type of fish will be different. You want it opaque, firm and flaky but just once it gets to that point. Fish should not be overcooked.
- Serve -- Top each fillet with a spoon of the chilled butter. It will melt and give the fish an amazing flavor.
- Quick cooking couscous and pan seared fresh spinach makes this a 15 minute healthy meal. And don't forget - this is great over steak, chicken or pork. The only difference is - you need to marinate it for a much longer period.
- ENJOY!
BROILED COD
This is the easiest and tastiest fish you'll serve. Even finicky eaters who think they don't like fish will love it because it lacks a fishy taste and is beautiful and flakey. -Kim Russell, North Wales, Pennsylvania

BROILED FISH FILLETS WITH BASIL BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Cut four 6x8-inch pieces of foil. Place 1 fish fillet in center of each piece of foil. Fold up foil to form rectangle with 3/4-inch-high sides. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place packets on small baking sheet.
- Combine butter, 1 tablespoon basil, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and garlic in small bowl. Using wooden spoon, mix until well combined. Spread mixture over fish in foil. Broil fish (do not turn fish) until opaque in center, about 6 minutes. Transfer fish in foil to 4 plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon basil. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like cod, salmon, or tilapia work best for broiling.
- Thaw frozen fish properly: If using frozen fish, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
- Pat the fish dry: Before cooking, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- Season the fish: Season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking.
- Use a hot broiler: Preheat the broiler to high heat before cooking the fish. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the fish for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets. As a general rule, cook fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Make the basil butter: While the fish is cooking, make the basil butter by mixing softened butter, chopped basil, lemon zest, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Serve the fish with the basil butter: Once the fish is cooked, serve it immediately with the basil butter. You can also garnish the fish with fresh basil leaves.
Conclusion:
Broiled fish fillets are an easy and delicious way to enjoy seafood. By following these tips, you can cook perfectly cooked fish fillets that are flaky and flavorful. The basil butter adds a delicious touch of flavor to the fish, and it is sure to become a favorite recipe.
