Simple Sauteed Fish With Garlic Food

SIMPLE SAUTEED FISH WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Rinse the fish fillets and blot dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter in wide sauté pan over medium low heat. Once butter has begun to foam, place the fish into the pan.
• Add garlic. Sauté 1 minute without disturbing the fish.
• Tilt the pan toward you and using a spoon, ladle the garlic butter over the fish. Continue to sauté while basting the fish for 2-3 minutes.
• Using a spatula, gently flip fish. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Uncover pan, and continue basting fish with butter until it is just cooked through, another minute or two.
• Add 3 tablespoons of parsley and turn off the heat.
• Transfer fish onto a platter or individual plates. Tilt pan and spoon butter sauce evenly over fillets.
• Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon parsley and lemon juice.

FISH FILLETS IN GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute garlic 1 minute. Place fish over garlic, cover and cook over low heat 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish; sprinkle with onions. Cover and continue to cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2-3 minutes. Squeeze lemon over fish. Serve immediately.

SAUTED FISH FILLETS WITH SLICED GARLIC AND BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a saute pan on top of the grill, firepit, or stove over med high heat.
• When the pan is hot add the olive oil and heat. Dredge the bass fillets in the flour and shake off any excess.
• Place the fillets in the pan and pan fry about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fish from the pan. Reduce to a medium/med-low heat (move away from coals if cooking outdoors). De-glaze the pan with the wine and then add the butter.
• When the butter is melted, add the sliced garlic. Fry for about a minute just until the garlic begins to turn light golden brown.
• Add the herbs and remove from the heat. Carefully, add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place a fillet on a plate and spoon some of the lemon garlic herb butter over the fish. Garnish with lemon slices.

CRISPY GOLDEN SAUTEED FISH

Steps:

• Prepare the fish by rinsing and patting dry, without squeezing the delicate fish flesh. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a medium saute pan.
• Cook's Note: Do not use a nonstick pan.
• The oil should be glossy, but not smoking. While the oil is heating, take a fresh paper towel and pat the fish dry a second time, and dredge the fish in flour on both sides, patting off the excess. This will make your beautiful crust-searing foolproof! Place the fish in the pan and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip the fish, being firm with the spatula in order to scrape up the whole golden-seared crust when you flip. Once flipped, place 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each piece of fish, and allow it to melt into the saucepan. It may brown somewhat, but it should not burn. Allow the mixture to cook another 2 minutes and then remove the fish. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice (be careful with splatters!), and quickly scrape up the brown bits of flavor. Toss in the parsley, taste for seasoning, and spoon a teaspoon of the rich lemony butter onto the fish and serve.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

PAN-SEARED TILEFISH WITH GARLIC, HERBS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Remove any remaining pin bones in the fish, pat dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Once butter has begun to foam, lay fish in pan. Add green garlic or scallions and a pinch of salt. Without disturbing the fish, tilt the pan toward you; using a spoon, ladle green garlic butter over fish. Continue basting fish for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Using a spatula, gently flip fish. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Uncover pan, add herbs and continue basting fish with butter until it is just cooked through, another minute or two longer.
• Transfer fish to a serving platter or individual plates, pour pan sauce over the top, and pour lemon juice over everything. Season with more salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

FISH WITH SAGE AND GARLIC SAUCE
