EASY LEMON BUTTER FISH IN 15 MINUTES
Steps:
- Use paper towels to thoroughly pat-dry excess moisture from fish fillets - this step is crucial for fish to brown nicely in pan. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice and zest, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Stir to combine well. Taste and add a bit more kosher salt, if desired.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 tsp kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Evenly press spice mixture onto all sides of fish fillets.
- In a large, heavy pan over medium high heat, heat up the olive oil until hot. Once your oil is sizzling, Cook 2 fish fillets at a time to avoid overcrowding (allows for even browning.) Cook each side just until fish becomes opaque, feels somewhat firm in the center, and is browned - lightly drizzle some of the lemon butter sauce as you cook, reserving the rest for serving. Take care not to over-cook, as that will result in a tougher texture. Season with extra kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve fish with with remaining lemon butter sauce, basil or parsley, and lemon wedges.

LEMON-INFUSED FISH AND VEGETABLES
Steaming fish with veggies in individual packages is not only healthy, it makes assembly and cleanup a breeze. You can use foil in place of the parchment paper. Orlando Sentinel, 2/2010. I like to add herbs to this; dill if cooking salmon, other fresh herbs if using a white fish. This is a very basic recipe you can customize to your individual tastes and it is very low in calories, fat, and sodium.

- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and salt; drizzle over the fish. Crimp or fold over the edges to form sealed packets. Place packets on two baking sheets.
- Bake until the packets are puffed and fish is cooked through, 12-15 minutes. transfer packets to serving plates. Cut the top of the packets open carefully (to avoid the escaping steam). Serve.
ROASTED LEMONY FISH WITH BROWN BUTTER, CAPERS AND NORI
Drizzling a mild, white fish with a caper-spiked browned butter is classic for a reason. The butter adds richness to the lean fish, and the tanginess of capers and lemon perks up any mellowness. In this version, adapted from the chef Danielle Alvarez's cookbook "Always Add Lemon" (Hardie Grant, 2020), nori oil adds another layer of umami flavor. It's both bright and deep, with a silky texture that's easy to achieve. Serve it with rice or bread to mop up all the saline, buttery juices.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 475 degrees. Put fish on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Make the nori oil: Place crumbled seaweed snacks in a blender or mini food processor. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and continue to blend until the oil is black, 1 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed. (Because there's such a small amount of liquid, you may need to stir a lot in between pulses. If you like, you can double the ingredients and save some for next time; it will keep for at least a few weeks in the fridge.) When the oil is well blended, stir in a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside.
- Pour the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil all over fish. Thinly slice 1 1/2 lemons. (Save the other lemon half for serving.) Arrange lemon slices on top of the fish. Roast until the fish is opaque and just cooked through but not yet flaky, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fish. Remove from oven and brush two-thirds of the nori oil on top of fish; set aside to rest while preparing the butter.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 5 minutes. Add parsley and capers, and cook for another minute. (Be careful when adding capers, as they may splatter once they hit the hot butter.) Pour the sizzling butter mixture over the fish and squeeze a little lemon juice from the reserved half on top. Serve immediately with remaining nori oil on the side for more drizzling.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: For this recipe, mild-flavored fish such as tilapia, cod, or halibut work best.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil add a burst of flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the fish, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is opaque: The fish is cooked when it is opaque throughout. You can check this by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it is done.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The fish will be most flavorful when it is hot and fresh.
