Steps:
- Pat fish dry. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge in flour, and knock off excess. Set aside.
- Heat oil and butter for the fish in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add fish and cook, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes total. Do not overcook.
- Transfer fish to a plate. Discard fat from skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add butter, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.
- Pour sauce over fish. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED FISH WITH SPICE BUTTER AND TOMATOES
You can use any savory spice blend in this easy dinner - anything from garam masala to za'atar, baharat or Chinese five spice. If you have a very fresh blend with loads of flavor, use just 1 teaspoon. But if your blend has been sitting in the cabinet since, well, you can't quite remember, feel free to use a bit more. Serve this with rice or crusty bread to catch all the spicy, buttery juices.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with salt, and roast for 10 minutes as you prepare the fish.
- In a small bowl, stir together butter, garlic, zest, spice blend and a pinch of salt.
- Season fish lightly with salt. Pull pan from the oven, and nestle fillets among the cherry tomatoes. Pour spice butter over fish and tomatoes, tossing the tomatoes to coat them. Sprinkle scallions on top of everything.
- Roast until fish is flaky and cooked through, about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Top with a squeeze of citrus juice and fresh herbs, and serve.
FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER (PAN-FRIED)
This fish dinner tastes indulgent, but it's easy to prepare and not as heavy as it sounds. Cod has a mild, non-fishy taste. Even a picky eater will love this. The light cod is pan-fried until crispy. We loved the brown butter sauce that's poured over the cod. It's slightly nutty and has a hint of lemon. We will definitely be...

- 4. When butter is melted, place fish in the pan and jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking.
- 5. Cook until golden crust forms on meat.
- 6. Carefully turn fish on the other side and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds.
- 7. Cook until skin turns golden brown.
- 8. Remove to a warm plate.
- 9. Pour out the cooking fat from the pan. Then put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- 10. Melt them until they become hazel color.
- 11. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and few leaves of thyme or oregano. (you can leave the herbs out)
- 12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
- 13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.
