Lemony Fish In Butter-Garlic Sauce

Lemony Fish In Butter-Garlic Sauce

0

From start to finish this 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 been fondly eaten tandoori fish(mildly seasoned and then roasted in tandoor/ big clay ovens) we love that charred and smoky flavour which comes by grilling fish or meat on hot charcoal.

This month, when my children came home for Diwali festival, we decided to cook fish at home. We tried the easiest recipe which prepared under 30 minutes. As it was not possible to use tandoor at homes,  we decided to give a try on pan seared recipe. The basic marination was done for 10 minutes with salt and lemon juice and then the fish filets were pan seared till 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 n flakey fish, the only words we said were yum yum nom!!
 It is a pleasure to share the recipe with u all
