Broiled Alligator Tail With Lemon Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Lemon Butter: Over low heat in small saucepan, melt margarine or butter and stir in the remaining ingredients; DON'T LET IT BOIL.
• Let heat through, then serve immediately.
• Broiled Alligator Tail: Lay alligator slices on a flat broiler pan, and place about 6 inches from the heating element.
• Broil for 10 to 15 minutes or until done.
• Remove the pan from the oven and brush the top of the meat with the lemon-butter sauce, making sure to coat the entire surface.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.
• Squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.
