Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon ghee
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 skinless fillets of flounder or sole, tilapia, or any kind of flatfish or white fish
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Rinse the fish.
  • In a large plate, add flour, salt, and pepper. Mix.
  • Pat the fish into the mixture on both sides.
  • Heat a large pan on med-high heat and once hot, add ghee. Swirl pan to coat bottom.
  • Once ghee is hot add in the fish, two at a time or just enough not to crowd the fish.
  • Don’t move the fish around and just let cook for 1 minute. Flip the fish and cook for another minute. If your fish is thicker you’ll have to adjust the cook time accordingly.
  • Remove fish and place onto a new dish and repeat with remaining fish fillets.
  • Once you finished cooking all the fish, if your pan is cast iron you can take your pan off the heat now, otherwise turn your burner to low.
  • Add butter to melt and once melted, add lemon juice and parsley. Mix.
  • Add the fish back into the pan and serve. Enjoy this lovely thing!
