Best 3 Pan Fried Fish Fillets Recipes

FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER (PAN-FRIED)

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.
