Pan Fried Fish with Hazelnut Butter
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 80 g salted butter (2.5oz)
- 2 handfuls roast hazelnuts (50g / 2oz)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 fish fillets
- 1 bag washed salad leaves
Instructions
- Bring butter to room temperature. Chop hazelnuts roughly and mash with butter and lemon together in a small bowl. Taste and season with more salt and / or lemon if needed (you probably won’t).
- Heat a medium frying pan large enough to just hold the fish in a single layer on a medium high heat. Season fish with salt. Add a splash of oil to the pan and cook fish for 2-4 minutes on each side. You want the fish to be golden brown on the surface and the flesh to look opaque and no longer translucent when you cut into it.
- Divide fish between two plates. Top with hazelnut butter and allow it to melt onto the fish to create a delicious sauce. Serve salad leaves on the plates and use the melted butter to dress the salad as you eat.
