I've been making this "sauce" to serve over fish for years. I like it over simple pan fried fish, but you could serve it over crumbed fish too.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 fish fillets, your choice (tonight I have shark)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1
Combine the flour, salt and pepper. Coat the fish in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess flour. Heat half the butter to foaming over medium high heat in a heavy based pan.
2
Cook the fish to your liking and remove to serving plates.
3
Add the remaining butter, juice, zest, capers and parsley. Heat for a minute then serve over the fish sharing the capers between the plates.

AWESOME! I made my DD some chicken cutlets and the rest of the family tilapia- doubled the recipe and everyone loved it. Served with Carrot orzo and a green salad. I made enough to have leftovers to take to work- but there wasn't any, even DD said the fish was good and that is impressive. Will make often, Thanks Jan!

Simple recipe with great flavors going on! I used haddock for the fish, but it would be good with any fish including salmon and tuna.

Had this on the table in < 10 minutes including making the sauce! The key is to get the butter really hot to make the fish nicely browned and to give a nice nutty flavor to the sauce. I used mahi mahi fillet with great results. Super simple, yet delicious fish recipe. Also, I just seasoned fish, then dredged in flour.

Fantastic. I used catfish fillets for the fish and followed the recipe to the letter. Super easy, super tasty. This sauce would work on just about any fish or even plain chicken breasts. YUM!
