Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 whitefish fillets, boneless, skinless
lemon pepper, as desired
1/4 c tempura flour or all purpose, and as needed
1/4 c unsalted butter, divided
2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tsp lemon or lime zest
2 Tbsp capers, drained
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Three fillets rinsed and cut in half. I used pangasius here but I also like to use barramundi. I cut the fillets in half to make them easier to handle in the pan.
  • 2. Season the fillets on both sides with lemon pepper, place the flour in a shallow dish and coat the fillets with flour and shake off excess.
  • 3. Melt half the butter in a large non stick pan on medium high heat. Cook the fillets in batches, to golden brown, takes only a few minutes each side.
  • 4. Remove to a serving plate, cover to keep warm.
  • 5. When the fillets are all done, same hot pan, add the remaining butter, lemon or lime juice, zest, capers, and parsley. Stir and heat for one minute.
  • 6. Place 1-2 fillets on each serving plate, spoon sauce over the fish, serve with sides of your choice. Enjoy.
