Brown Butter Fish

Prep and cooking time: 20mins

Complex carb portions, per serving: 0

Ingredients

Serves: 2

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

300g white fish (e.g. lemon sole, seabass, sea bream)

2 tbsp butter

1 small handful curly leaf parsley, roughly chopped

½ lemon, juiced and zested

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, over medium heat. Fry the fish for 2mins on the bottom side, season with salt and pepper. Flip to topside for 1min (slightly longer if using thicker fish, like sea bass). Remove from the pan, and place onto the serving plate.

  2. Add the butter to the pan. Keep heating the butter until it starts to foam and turns a brown colour.

  3. Add the parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and stir. Cook for a further 1min.

  4. Pour the mixture over the fish.

  5. Serve with a side of steamed green veg, like Tenderstem broccoli and green beans.
