Recipe is for 2 servings

Ingredients

2 Basa fish fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup flour

salt and pepper

1/4 cup butter

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

a sprig of rosemary (or more)

Directions

1. Melt butter in a silver saucepan over low heat. Continue to cook at a low temperature until butter starts to foam and then begins to turn brown. Remove from heat as soon as it browns and transfer into a bowl. You may run it through a sieve when you transfer the butter to the bowl, if you desire. Place a sprig of rosemary in the bowl and let sit.

2. Pat fish down with a paper towel. Salt and pepper fillets on both sides. In a flat bottomed dish big enough to fit a fillet, sprinkle flour evenly. Place fillets in the dish one at a time, flipping on both sides to ensure they are evenly coated with flour.

3. Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Place breaded fillets in the skillet. Cook on both sides for about 4 minutes or so. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.

4. Spoon browned butter sauce over fillets and serve.
