Lemony Fish In Butter-Garlic Sauce

Lemony Fish In Butter-Garlic Sauce

0

From start to finish these pan-seared fish filets have been accompanied with lemon,  that’s why I call it lemony fish in butter garlic sauce. For years we have fondly eaten tandoori fish(mildly seasoned and then roasted in tandoor/ big clay ovens) we love that charred and smoky flavour that comes by grilling fish or meat on hot charcoal.

When my children came home for the Diwali festival this month, we decided to cook fish at home. We tried the easiest recipe which was prepared in under 30 minutes. As it was impossible to use tandoor at home,  we decided to try a pan-seared recipe. The basic marination was done for 10 minutes with salt and lemon juice and then the fish filets were pan-seared to perfection in butter and oil as well. And finally, a sauce of butter,  garlic, and lemon slices was poured over the cooked fish. And when we started eating that mouth-watering, buttery, and flakey fish, the only words we said were yum yum nom!!
 It is a pleasure to share the recipe with u all
