Fish Fillets With Brown Butter (Pan-Fried) image

This fish dinner tastes indulgent, but it's easy to prepare and not as heavy as it sounds. Cod has a mild, non-fishy taste. Even a picky eater will love this. The light cod is pan-fried until crispy.

Ingredients

2 fish fillets (I like white fish for this recipe like cod but any fish would work)
4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil (sunflower or canola oil)
1/2 c all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp lemon juice
thyme or oregano (I prefer dried)

Steps:

1. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. (I like to season the flour with salt and pepper as well.)
3. When pan is hot, add olive oil followed immediately by 1-2 tablespoons butter.
4. When butter is melted, place fish in the pan and jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking.
5. Cook until golden crust forms on meat.
6. Carefully turn fish on the other side and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds.
7. Cook until skin turns golden brown.
8. Remove to a warm plate.
9. Pour out the cooking fat from the pan. Then put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
10. Melt them until they become hazel color.
11. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and few leaves of thyme or oregano. (you can leave the herbs out)
12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.

Tips:

Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia are best for pan-frying. Thinner fish like sole or flounder can also be used, but they need to be cooked carefully to avoid overcooking.
Use a non-stick pan: This will help prevent the fish from sticking and breaking apart.
Heat the pan over medium heat: If the pan is too hot, the fish will cook too quickly and become dry. If the pan is too cold, the fish will not cook evenly.
Season the fish fillets: Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking.
Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side: The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the fish fillets immediately: Pan-fried fish fillets are best served hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Pan-frying is a quick and easy way to cook fish fillets. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pan-fried fish fillets are cooked perfectly every time. Pan-fried fish fillets are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. They can also be used in tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
