Turn off broiler and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Prepare fish, wash and dry thoroughly, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. 3. Dip fish into the lemon juice and then into the flour on both sides. 4. In a large oven-proof saute pan over medium high heat, warm the olive oil and butter until butter just begins to sizzle; add fish and saute 2 minutes; turn and put fish into the oven for 5-6 minutes or until it flakes easily. 5. While baking, make the quick and easy sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; add the liqueur, wine, and preserves, stirring to reduce slightly.
