PAN-SEARED TILEFISH WITH GARLIC, HERBS AND LEMON



Pan-Seared Tilefish With Garlic, Herbs and Lemon image

All cooks needs a basic sautéed fish fillet recipe in their repertory, and this one could not be much simpler. It does require a step that may intimidate on first glance: you baste the fish with the fat you're cooking it in. Don't worry. Just use a good amount of fat in the pan, about a tablespoon per person (you could get away with a little less if you insist, or use half white wine and half fat). Basting helps cook the fish evenly and keeps it and moist. In this recipe, the fat is butter. As the fish cooks, the butter browns, taking on a nutty scent that is classic with seafood. Tilefish is specified but any firm fillet will do, from sea bass to grouper.

Sauteed Catfish Fillets with Pecan Butter Sauce image

Categories     Fish     Sauté     Mardi Gras     Pecan     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper for dredging the fish
1 large egg
3 tablespoons water
six 6- to 8-ounce catfish fillets
about 1/3 cup vegetable oil for sautéing the fish
1/4 cup minced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup pecans, toasted lightly and chopped fine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice plus 6 lemon wedges for garnish
Tabasco to taste

Steps:

  • Have ready in separate shallow dishes the flour, and the egg beaten with the water. Dredge each catfish fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge it in the flour again, shaking off the excess. Transfer the fish as it is coated to a wax paper-lined baking sheet. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the fish in batches, adding the remaining oil as necessary, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until it just flakes. Transfer the fish to paper towels to drain and keep it warm, covered.
  • In a skillet cook the onion and the garlic in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the pecans, and cook the mixture over moderately high heat, swirling the skillet, until the butter is browned and the pecans are toasted well. Stir in the lemon juice, the Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the fish among 6 heated plates, spoon the butter sauce over it, and garnish each serving with a lemon wedge.

Tips for Making the Best Sautéed Fish Fillets with Sliced Garlic and Butter Sauce

  • Use fresh fish fillets. Frozen fish can be used, but fresh fish will give you the best results.
  • Choose a firm-fleshed fish. This will help the fish hold its shape when sautéing.
  • Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the fish fillets. This will help prevent the fish from overcrowding and sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the fish fillets over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Add the sliced garlic and butter to the skillet towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Serve the fish fillets immediately with the sliced garlic and butter sauce.

Conclusion

Sautéed fish fillets with sliced garlic and butter sauce is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
