Recipe: Lemon-Butter Fish

Lemon-Butter Fish

• Fish (I used tilapia), 2 fillets
• Olive oil, approx 1-2 tbsp
• Butter, approx 1-2 tbsp
• Onion, approx 1/4-1/3 cup, chopped fine
• Scallion, chopped
• Lemon
• Seasoning - I used Original Mrs Dash
• Large skillet

1. Add olive oil to pan, set heat to medium.
2. Add butter, stirring to melt.
3. Let warm, then stir in chopped onions.
4. While onions are cooking, zest the lemon, then chop in half. Cut 4 thin slices from one half. Juice the remainder, then juice the other half.
5. When onions are translucent, add lemon zest and chopped scallions.
6. Stir to incorporate, and after a minute or so, add lemon juice. Turn heat down to medium-low.
7. Place fish fillets over mixture in pan. Sprinkle liberally with seasoning, and place two lemon slices on each fillet.
8. Let cook a minute or so, then cover pan. Cook until opaque and flaky, about 5-8 minutes.
9. Use a spatula to remove fillets from pan and set on plate. Pour sauce from pan over the two fillets.
10. Serve with a salad and crusty bread.
