Fish Fillets Flour Unsalted Butter White Wine Lemons

Ingredients

Cut your fish into 4 fillets that are close to evenly sized. Dredge the fish on both sides with flour and season with salt and pepper.

Step 1

Melt the butter in a hot pan. Once the pan is hot, gently place the dredged fish into the pan. Cook about 3-5 minutes on each side, being careful not to over cook.

Step 2

Remove the fish from the pan, and set aside on a plate. To the same pan, add the white wine and use a whisk to scrape up all the little brown bits.

Step 3

Once the wine is cooked down, add in the butter and lemon juice and whisk until the sauce thickens a bit. Add in the capers, turn off the heat and add the fish back into the pan.

Step 4

Serve over pasta or sautéed spinach and pour the pan sauce over the top of the dish.

Step 5

When you are dredging the fish, put a glove on one hand and use that hand exclusively for dredging the fish.  The other hand is then free to cook, use tongs, grab ingredients etc.
