Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Season the gulf fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge the fillets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Fish

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add lemon juice and chopped parsley. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Crabmeat

    Gently fold in the fresh crabmeat into the lemon butter sauce, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Cook Haricots Verts

    In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the sautéed fish fillets on a plate, top with the crabmeat and lemon butter sauce. Serve alongside the haricots verts.
