Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
12 garlic cloves, whole, peeled
1 cup roasted red pepper, cut in fine strips
1/3 cup black olives, pits removed
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons dill or 2 tablespoons basil, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb fish fillet, with white flesh (4)

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat butter and garlic at medium heat until butter is frothy. Reduce heat to medium-low (or at low heat if butter is golden too fast) and cook for 15 minutes or until butter is golden, stirring from time to time. Reduce in purée the garlic cloves. Add red bell pepper, black olives and capers and cook for 4 minutes. Add sage and lemon juice and stir.
Meanwhile, in another large skillet, heat oil at medium-high heat. Add fish fillets and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until golden and the flesh is easy to flake with a fork (flip the fillets one time during cooking). Garnish the fillets with garlic butter and olives.

Fish With Sizzling Olive Butter image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup mixed olives, such as Kalamata, Castelvetrano, Moroccan or Picholine, pitted and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
1/2 teaspoon fennel or coriander seeds, coarsely crushed (use the flat side of your knife or a mortar and pestle)
4 (1-inch-thick) pieces flaky white fish fillet, such as cod (about 6 ounces each), patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lime wedges, plus more for serving
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley, leaves and tender stems
1/4 cup chopped dill, leaves and tender stems

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium. Add butter and oil, and cook until butter melts and starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in olives, garlic and fennel or coriander, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, then nestle them in one layer in the skillet. Carefully spoon some of the butter mixture over the fish, basting the fillets, then transfer pan to the oven.
Bake until fish is opaque and flaky, 8 to 13 minutes, basting halfway through. Remove from oven and transfer fillets to serving plates.
Squeeze a wedge or two of lime into the butter mixture and spoon sauce over fish. Top with black pepper, cilantro and dill, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
