An easy sauce with the flavors of Provence makes fish fillets into a meal worthy of company. I like to add steamed rice and sautéed spinach to complete the plate. The recipe works with many types of fish such as cod, flounder, sole, trout, tilapia or catfish. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

Tips:

  • Select the right fish fillets: Choose firm-fleshed fish fillets that will hold their shape when cooked, such as salmon, cod, or halibut.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry: This will help to prevent the fish from steaming instead of searing.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to create a nice sear on the fish fillets.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the fish fillets in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  • Cook the fish fillets until they are opaque and flaky: The fish is cooked when it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make sure the herb butter is soft: The herb butter should be soft enough to spread easily onto the fish fillets.
  • Serve the fish fillets immediately: Serve the fish fillets while they are hot and crispy.
