Time 25m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces boneless fish fillet, such as snapper or cod
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 large sprig fresh thyme
2 Cerignola or other large green olives with pits
Extra-large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER



Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets With Herb Butter image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 5- to 6-ounce fish fillets, like black bass, haddock, fluke, striped bass, tilefish, snapper or salmon, 1/2- to 1-inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme, tarragon, chives or another herb
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional
Lemon wedges

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.

COD WITH HERBED WHITE-WINE LEMON SAUCE



Cod with Herbed White-Wine Lemon Sauce image

This recipe can be made using any fresh mild-flavored white fish, such as cod, sole, sea bass, or flounder.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
2 lemons, 1 juiced and 1 sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup capers, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup loosely packed mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chervil, dill, and thyme, roughly chopped
4 (about 6 ounces each) codfish fillets

Steps:

  • Combine shallot, wine, and lemon juice in a small skillet; set over high heat. Bring to a boil; simmer until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in butter, capers, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and 3/4 of the herbs. Set aside; keep warm.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 3 tablespoons sauce. Season both sides of fillets with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Arrange fillets and lemon slices in skillet; sprinkle with some herbs. Cook until fillets are golden, about 4 minutes. Turn, sprinkle with remaining herbs, and cook until fish is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Serve with lemon slices and remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish possible. Ask your fishmonger for recommendations on the best white fish to use, depending on your personal preferences and what's in season.
  • Pat the fish dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're cooking multiple pieces of fish, make sure there's enough space between them so they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat. This will help the fish cook through without overcooking it.
  • Baste the fish with the herbed butter frequently. This will help keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the fish immediately. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

White fish in herbed butter is a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
