A Lemon Butter Sauce with Crispy Pan Fried
Fish that would be perfectly at home in a
posh restaurant yet is so quick to make at
home! Browning the butter gives the sauce
a rich, nutty aroma which pairs beautifully
with fresh lemon, as well as thickening
the sauce and giving it a gorgeous golden
colour.
INGREDIENTS
Lemon Butter Sauce:
60 g / 4 Tbsp unsalted butter , cut into
pieces
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and finely ground pepper
Crispy Pan Fried Fish:
2 x thin white fish fillets (120-150g /
4-5oz each), skinless boneless (I
used Bream, Note 1)
Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp white flour
2 Tbsp oil (I use canola)
Serving: Lemon wedges
Finely chopped parsley, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
Lemon Butter Sauce
01. Place the butter in a light coloured
saucepan or small skillet over medium heat.
02. Melt butter then leave on the stove,
whisking / stirring very now and then.
When the butter turns golden brown and
it smells nutty — about 3 minutes, remove
from stove immediately and pour into small
bowl. (Note 2)
03. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt and
pepper. Stir then taste when it has cooled
slightly. Adjust lemon/salt to taste.
04. Set aside — it will stay pourable for 20 —
30 minutes. See Note 3 for storing
Crispy Pan Fried Fish:
01. Pat fish dry using paper towels. Sprinkle
with salt & pepper, then flour. Use fingers to
spread flour. Turn and repeat. Shake excess

flour off well, slapping between hands if
necessary.
02. Heat oil in a non stick skillet over high
heat. When the oil is shimmering and there
are faint wisps of smoke, add fish. Cook for
1 1/2 minutes until golden and crispy on the
edges, then turn and cook the other side
for 1 1/2 minutes (cook longer if you have
thicker fillets).
03. Remove immediately onto serving
plates. Drizzle each with about 1 tbsp of
Sauce (avoid dark specks settled at the
bottom of the bowl), garnish with parsley
and serve with lemon on the side. Pictured
