Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pieces cod or other mild white fish (6 oz each)
3 tablespoon(s) butter
1 tablespoon(s) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon(s) turmeric salt
freshly ground pepper, to taste
sub for turmeric salt: 1/2 tsp kosher salt + 1 tsp turmeric

Steps:

Rinse fish and pat dry with a paper towel.
Sprinkle turmeric salt and pepper on fish. Flip and do the same on the other side.
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to hold both pieces of fish.
Add lemon juice to the butter when melted.
When the pan is hot, add both pieces of fish. Tip the pan a little to puddle up some of the butter.
Baste both pieces of fish with the butter.
Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. You want some nice browning on the fish.
Baste once more and turn fish to the other side.
Tip the pan and baste the fish several times with the butter. Cook another few minutes until the desired doneness, basting every 30 seconds or so. Flip fish one more time, baste several times with butter.
Plate. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
