Number Of Ingredients 9

4 - alaska pollock fillets (4 to 6 ounces each) fresh, thawed or frozen
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil
- salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup(s) chopped walnuts
4 tablespoon(s) butter, divided
1 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon(s) grated lemon zest
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon(s) snipped chives

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. While pan heats, rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Pollock fillets under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Brush both sides of fillets with oil. Place fillets in heated pan and cook, uncovered, about 3 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.
  • Turn fillets over and season with salt and pepper. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 2 to 5 minutes or just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove fillets from skillet; keep warm.
  • Wipe out pan, if necessary. Add walnuts to skillet; cook until walnuts are lightly toasted, shaking pan occasionally to prevent walnuts from burning. Add remaining ingredients and heat through.
  • Spoon sauce over fish to serve.
