Turbot with Brown Butter and Capers
- 4 turbot fillets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 to 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup drained capers
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon, plus 4 sprigs, for garnish
- Sprinkle the turbot on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat.
- When you see a wisp of smoke, add the fillets to the pan (do not overcrowd the pan to achieve a proper sear, so cook in batches if you have to).
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter per fillet to the pan.
- Cook the turbot on both sides until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes total.
- Remove to a plate.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine over medium-high heat and let cook all the way down to a dry pan.
- Add the remaining butter to the saute pan and cook until slightly golden brown.
- Add the capers and lemon juice, and then add the fish back to the pan.
- Baste the fish with some of the sauce to warm.
- Remove from heat, add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Put each fillet on a plate and spoon the sauce over the fish.
- Garnish with the lemon zest and a sprig of tarragon.
