Roasted Fish Fillets With Brown Butter Corn Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season fillets with salt and pepper and place in a baking pan, skin-side down.
• In a small bowl, mash together the butter, about two-thirds of the garlic, and the lemon zest if using. Smear on top of fish fillets. Roast until cooked through to taste, 7 to 12 minutes depending upon variety of fish and thickness of fillets.
• Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, purée half the brown buttered corn with broth or water, oil, lemon juice and remaining garlic. Stir in remaining corn. Serve sauce over fish, garnished with herbs.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
• 2. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. (I like to season the flour with salt and pepper as well.)
• 3. When pan is hot, add olive oil followed immediately by 1-2 tablespoons butter.
• 4. When butter is melted, place fish in the pan and jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking.
• 5. Cook until golden crust forms on meat.
• 6. Carefully turn fish on the other side and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds.
• 7. Cook until skin turns golden brown.
• 8. Remove to a warm plate.
• 9. Pour out the cooking fat from the pan. Then put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
• 10. Melt them until they become hazel color.
• 11. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and few leaves of thyme or oregano. (you can leave the herbs out)
• 12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
• 13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Put fish on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Make the nori oil: Place crumbled seaweed snacks in a blender or mini food processor. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and continue to blend until the oil is black, 1 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed. (Because there's such a small amount of liquid, you may need to stir a lot in between pulses. If you like, you can double the ingredients and save some for next time; it will keep for at least a few weeks in the fridge.) When the oil is well blended, stir in a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside.
• Pour the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil all over fish. Thinly slice 1 1/2 lemons. (Save the other lemon half for serving.) Arrange lemon slices on top of the fish. Roast until the fish is opaque and just cooked through but not yet flaky, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fish. Remove from oven and brush two-thirds of the nori oil on top of fish; set aside to rest while preparing the butter.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 5 minutes. Add parsley and capers, and cook for another minute. (Be careful when adding capers, as they may splatter once they hit the hot butter.) Pour the sizzling butter mixture over the fish and squeeze a little lemon juice from the reserved half on top. Serve immediately with remaining nori oil on the side for more drizzling.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season fillets with salt and pepper and place in a baking pan, skin-side down. 2. In a small bowl, mash together the butter, about two-thirds of the garlic, and the lemon zest if using. Smear on top of fish fillets. Roast until cooked through to taste, 7 to 12 minutes depending upon variey of fish and thickness of fillets. 3. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, puree half the brown buttered corn with broth or water, oil, lemon juice and remianing garlic. Stir in remaining corn. Serve sauce over fish, garnished with herbs.

Steps:

• Break ears of corn in half and stand one half vertically on a cutting board. Using a sawing motion, run a knife between cob and kernels to remove kernels. Using back of knife, scrape denuded cob to release corn's juices. Transfer kernels and juice to a bowl. Repeat with remaining corn.
• Melt butter in a saucepan; add thyme. Let butter cook until you see golden brown specks in bottom of pan and butter smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Add corn, juices and a large pinch of salt and pepper; stir well and cover pot. Let cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove thyme sprigs, add more salt and pepper if desired, and serve hot, alone or as a side dish, garnished with herbs if desired.
