Figure out how to articulate it so you can grandly tell your family and companions "we're having French today around evening time!"

Extraordinary quality fish isn't shabby. Yet, deserving of speculation in light of the fact that: it's beneficial for you; a wonderful bit of fish requires next to no done to it to make a feast that you'd pay genuine $ for at an extravagant fish café; and they're snappy to cook.

Thus I present to you, your new most loved opulent yet-simple and-super-speedy path with fish: Pan singed until brilliant at that point showered with a 3 minute Lemon Butter Sauce that you will go crazy over. The Lemon Butter Sauce is simply made with margarine and lemon. In any case, it's not "simply" spread and lemon. It's dark colored spread and lemon.

Darker margarine is all that you cherish about dissolved spread, supported with a fantastic nutty, toasty smell. The French call it Beurre noisette. The exacting interpretation is "hazelnut margarine", and despite the fact that hazelnuts don't come into the condition by any means, we get it.

INGREDIENTS

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE:
60 g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter , cut into pieces
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and finely ground pepper
 

CRISPY PAN FRIED FISH:
2 x thin white fish fillets (120-150g / 4-5oz each), skinless boneless (I used Bream, Note 1)
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp white flour
2 tbsp oil (I use canola)
 

SERVING:
Lemon wedges
Finely chopped parsley, optional
 

INSTRUCTIONS

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE:

1. Place the butter in a light coloured saucepan or small skillet over medium heat.
2. Melt butter then leave on the stove, whisking / stirring very now and then. When the butter turns golden brown and it smells nutty - about 3 minutes, remove from stove immediately and pour into small bowl. (Note 2)
3. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir then taste when it has cooled slightly. Adjust lemon/salt to taste.
4. Set aside - it will stay pourable for 20 - 30 minutes. See Note 3 for storing.

CRISPY PAN FRIED FISH:

1. Pat fish dry using paper towels. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then flour. Use fingers to spread flour. Turn and repeat. Shake excess flour off well, slapping between hands if necessary.
2. Heat oil in a non stick skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering and there are faint wisps of smoke, add fish. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges, then turn and cook the other side for 1 1/2 minutes (cook longer if you have thicker fillets).
3. Remove immediately onto serving plates. Drizzle each with about 1 tbsp of Sauce (avoid dark specks settled at the bottom of the bowl), garnish with parsley and serve with lemon on the side. Pictured in post with Kale and Quinoa Salad.

RECIPE NOTES

1. I like using this sauce for thin fillets because I find you get the best sauce to flesh coverage, and also because thin fillets tend to mean less fish (the sea bream in the photos are only around 120g/4oz each) so you're not having to pour over loads of Sauce (it is quite rich). I also love how the edges of thin fish fillets go nice and crispy! Having said that though, this sauce is suitable for almost any white fish fillet, but I'd avoid rich, oily fish like salmon and mackerel. Frozen fish is also fine - thaw thoroughly and pat very well with paper towels to remove excess water.
2. BROWNING BUTTER: At first, it will spit a bit (water in butter cooking out), then it will bubble, then it will foam. Little brown bits will start appearing on the base of the pan - THEN you will smell the nuttiness. Smell is the most important sign - when it smells amazing, take it right off!
3. Storing Brown Butter: You'll only need around 1 tbsp of Sauce per serving - it's very rich - but this recipe makes slightly more because it's hard to make a smaller quantity. Use leftovers to jazz up vegetables, mashed potato, or even spread on toast!  Refrigerate and use within 1 week, or freeze. To use as Sauce, microwave in 10 second increments.
