Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter see notes
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley
- 1 pinch chili flakes
- 4 filets lingcod
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon each: salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it is golden brown and nutty smelling. Stir the garlic into the butter then remove the pan from the heat.
- Pour the butter into a heat-proof bowl and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and chili flakes.
- Dry the lingcod well with paper towels then sprinkle the cornstarch over both sides. Use your hands to rub the cornstarch all over the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in the same pan you used for the butter. Add the lingcod and cook for 4 minutes. Shake the pan to release the fish (if they are sticking) then carefully flip the fish over using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the lingcod is flaky.
- Pour the brown butter lemon sauce into the pan so that the lingcod is coated in the sauce.
Notes
- If you only have unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the brown butter lemon sauce.
