Ingredients
-
For the fish
- 2 to 3 lbs. of Channel Bass (or any white fish fillet)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for sprinkling
-
For the buttery sauce
- ¾ lb. of butter
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon of dry white wine
- Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Fillet your fish and season both sides with salt and pepper.
🔪 For an extra touch, you can marinate the fillets in lemon juice for 15-30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
-
Brown the Butter: Place the butter in a shallow baking dish and place it in a hot oven (400°F to 500°F) until it turns a lovely brown color. This process adds a distinctive nuttiness to the dish.
-
Sizzle the Fillets: Gently place the fish fillets skin-side down in the sizzling hot butter and return the dish to the oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Baste & Flavor: Carefully turn the fillets with a spatula and baste with the melted butter and juices. Sprinkle each fillet with lemon juice, dry white wine, grated Parmesan cheese, and a dash of paprika.
-
Finish Cooking: Return the dish to the oven until the fish is thoroughly cooked—this should take about an additional 5 minutes.
-
Broil for Perfection: Run the dish under the broiler for a minute or two for a golden finish, basting the fish with the sauce once more.
🚨 Keep a close eye on the fish while broiling to prevent burning. You want it to be tantalizingly crisp and golden.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the Channel Bass drizzled with the buttery sauce, and garnish with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
- Pair with a light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc to complement the dish beautifully. 🍷
Variations
- Herb-Infused: Add herbs like thyme or parsley to the butter before browning for an aromatic twist. 🌿
- Spicy Kick: Incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy version that will tingle your taste buds. 🌶️
- Citrus Zing: Try using lime juice or orange juice instead of lemon for a different citrus profile.
