Ingredients

  • Striper Bass filets
  • Lemon, clairifed butter, parsley

Directions

1

Heat a sauté pan over medium heat for a minute, then add a couple of tablespoons of clarified butter.

2

Season the fish fillet to taste with Kosher salt and just a tiny amount of ground white pepper.

3

Dredge the fish lightly in flour and shake off any excess.

4

Gently place the floured fillet into the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until there's a nice golden-brown color, then carefully flip it over. Cook for another four or five minutes or until this side is golden-brown, too.

5

Remove fish from pan and place it on a warm plate.

6

Add a chunk of whole butter to the pan and swirl it around. Cook until it turns slightly brown.

7

Now add a few tablespoons of lemon juice and some chopped parsley to the hot butter. Cook for just a few seconds, letting it bubble a bit, then pour onto the fish and serve right away. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon if you like.
