Fish

Brown Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    Pat the Golden Tilefish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Fish

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned fish fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Brown Butter Sauce

  1. 3

    Make Brown Butter

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Cook, stirring often, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Add Lemon

    Once the butter is brown, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. Set aside.

Cooking Vegetables

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley before removing from heat.

Herb Oil

  1. 6

    Prepare Herb Oil

    In a blender, combine basil leaves, olive oil, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and well combined. Season with salt to taste.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve

    On a plate, place a portion of sautéed vegetables, top with a Golden Tilefish fillet, drizzle with brown butter sauce, and finish with a drizzle of herb oil.
