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.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.
- Don't overcook the fish. Fish is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque in the center. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality puff pastry. The puff pastry is the base of the tartlets, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for puff pastry that is made with real butter and that has a light and flaky texture.
- Be careful not to overfill the tartlets. If you overfill them, the filling will spill out while baking.
- Serve the tartlets warm or at room temperature. They're best when they're fresh out of the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature.
Conclusion:
These Herbed Fish Tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The flaky puff pastry crust, the tender fish filling, and the flavorful herb sauce make these tartlets a hit with everyone who tries them.
