INGREDIENTS
- 12 oz. (340 g) firm white fish fillet (halibut, cod or pollock fillet)
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil

GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut the fish into pieces, not to thin for easy pan-frying. Season the fish with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Coat the fish with corn starch. Set aside.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. Set aside.
- Heat up a skillet (preferably non-stick) on medium heat. Add the cooking oil and once the oil is heated, pan-fry the fish in a single layer until both sides turn crispy and golden brown. Use a wooden spatula or tong to gently flip the fish over. Try not to break the fish.
- Remove the fish from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Toss the fish with the Garlic Butter Sauce and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
NOTES
I used halibut in this recipe. Make sure to use firm white fish.
