Broiled Fish Steaks About 34 Inch Thick Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven to broil. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with half of the butter. Place on rack in broiler pan.
• Broil with top of fish steak about 4 inches from heat 5 minutes. Brush with butter. Carefully turn fish. (If fish sticks to the rack, loosen gently with a turner or fork.) Brush other side with butter.
• Broil 4 to 6 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Steps:

• For salmon, swordfish, tuna, bluefish, shark, mahimahi, and so forth. Here you concentrate on browning the top of the fish; no need to turn it. Dry the fish, paint both sides with melted butter or vegetable oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a shallow pan that will just hold them comfortably. Pour around the steaks 1/8 inch of dry white wine or French vermouth and set 2 inches below a preheated broiler. After 1 minute, brush a little soft butter on top of each and squeeze on drops of lemon juice. Continue broiling about 5 minutes more, or until lightly springy to the touch-cooked through but still juicy. Serve with the cooking juices spooned over.
