Lemon and Brown Butter Fish Fillets with Seared Red and Yellow Grape Tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1/2 pint red grape tomatoes
- 1/2 pint yellow grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (a couple of handfuls), chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 6-ounce tilapia, skate, or Dover sole fillets
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Crusty bread
- Preheat a large skillet over high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan).
- Add the grape tomatoes in an even layer and let them sear for 2 minutes without moving them.
- Add half of the parsley and season with salt and pepper, then continue to cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, or until all of the tomatoes start to burst.
- Remove them from the pan to a plate and cover with some aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Thoroughly wipe out the skillet and return to the cooktop over medium-high heat.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper and then dredge in the flour.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons EVOO to the skillet.
- Once the oil is hot, shake the excess flour from the fish and add to the skillet.
- Cook the fish for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until firm to the touch and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the fish to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Wipe the skillet clean again and return to the cooktop over medium-high heat.
- Melt the butter; but keep your eye on it.
- It will go from melted to brown pretty quickly.
- Once the butter is brown and smells slightly nutty, add the lemon juice and the remaining parsley.
- Pour the brown butter over the fish and then top with the seared grape tomatoes.
- Serve with crusty bread, for mopping.
