FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER (PAN-FRIED)
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.

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.
