Main Ingredient:
Bronzini
Type:
Dinner
Region:
Mediterranean
Ingredients:
2 bronzini fish fillets, (pat the fish dry with paper towels, let them come to room temperature)
sea salt and black pepper, (as needed)
1 tablespoon canola, avocado, or olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs thyme leaves
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
sea salt and black pepper, (as needed)
1 tablespoon canola, avocado, or olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs thyme leaves
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
With your hand at least 12 inches away, lightly sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of fish fillets in a single layer, right before cooking.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add oil and heat it for a few seconds until shimmers, and let it spread across the pan.
Cook fish fillets, skin-side up for about 45-60 seconds or until lightly golden browned. At this point, you only need to give the flesh a nice golden color as it will continue to cook after flipping.
Carefully flip the fish fillets and cook the skin for about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, hold for a few seconds to ensure even cooking and crisp skin all over.
Add butter, thyme, and fresh lemon juice to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the fish with melted butter. Continue basting for a few seconds until the fish is fully cooked and the skin is crispy.
