🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Pat the fish fillets dry. Season with salt and pepper. For a crispy option, lightly coat them in flour.

  2. 2

    In a hot pan, heat the oil and 20g of butter. Place the fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes without touching until golden.

  3. 3

    Flip the fillets, add 20g of butter and reduce the heat. Tilt the pan and baste the fillets with the foamy butter for 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the fillets. Off the heat, add the lemon juice to the pan, then incorporate the remaining 10g of butter, stirring to create a frothy sauce.

  5. 5

    Pour the sauce over the fillets, sprinkle with chopped parsley and a little fleur de sel. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks
  • Drying: The secret to fish that doesn't stick and browns well.
  • Temperature: The butter should foam but not brown. If it blackens, it becomes bitter.
  • Basting: This technique ensures evenly tender flesh.
  • Lemon: Add it off the heat to preserve its freshness and bright acidity.
