Sautéed Fish Fillets with Avocado and Tomatillo Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 7

Avocado and Tomatillo Sauce
4 (6- to 7-ounce) white fish fillets, each about 3/4-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

1. Prepare the avocado sauce. Cover and refrigerate. Season the fish lightly with salt and pepper. 2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook the fish about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is golden brown on the outside, opaque but still moist inside, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. Serve hot, with the sauce spooned on top. Garnish with cilantro or parsley. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
