PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER
A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Steps:
- Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
- Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

- 2. Season the fish with salt. Place a cast iron pan on stove and get it hot. Drizzle in some oil.

Steps:
- Dry Out
- Starting with parched skin is the key to a pro result- try to cook wet fish and it's going to steam, stick, rip, and generally be a huge, frustrating bummer. One hour before cooking, put your fillets on a plate, skin side up (no seasoning, please!), and leave them uncovered in the fridge to dry out.
- Start Smoking
- Get a large stainlesssteel skillet ripping hot over high heat (2 minutes should do it), then pour in 1 tablespoon oil and add a big pinch of salt. Once the oil is smoking, take the skillet off the heat and use a handful of paper towels to wipe oil and salt around and out of the pan (be extra careful-you might want to use tongs to hold the towels).
- Give 'Em Some Skin
- Put your now-seasoned skillet back over high heat and take those beautiful air-dried fillets out of the fridge. Add another 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and hit both sides of each fillet with a decent amount of salt. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully lay a fillet skin side down in the pan (be sure to lay them going away from you to guard against spatters).
- Be Firm
- Use a fish spatula (call it a "fish spat" if you want to sound like a pro) to apply firm, even pressure to the fillet until it relaxes and lies flat. Repeat with remaining fillet, then keep at it! Periodically press down each fillet and cook until flesh is nearly opaque and cooked through, with just a small raw area on top.
- Flip and Rest
- Slide your fish spatula under each fillet and-using your other hand as a guide-turn it away from you (watch that oil). Remove the pan from heat. At this point you're just letting the raw side kiss the skillet to finish cooking, about 1 minute.
SAUTEED BLACK SEA BASS WITH CAPERS AND HERB-BUTTER SAUCE
Letting a fillet sizzle in a pan with butter, capers, and fresh herbs is one highly civilized way to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. Go with sea bass, trout, or snapper-or any flaky white fish with a thin skin that will get super-crispy in the pan.

Steps:
- Pat fillets dry; slash skin side of each crosswise in 2-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour to evenly coat, shaking off excess.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers and wisps of smoke rise from skillet, add fish in a single layer, skin-sides down. Reduce heat to medium; cook, undisturbed,until skin is crisp and flesh is opaque halfway up sides and almost cooked through, 5 to 7minutes, depending on thickness.
- Flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, skin-sides up. Add vermouth to skillet; boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add capers and butter; cook until butter simmers and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs. Return fish to skillet, skin-side up; spoon butter sauce over top. Serve immediately.

- Place fish on a plate, skin side up, and chill, uncovered for one hour. (This dries out the skin and is a crucial step.)
- Heat a large stainless-steel skillet over high. Once the skillet is extremely hot, about 2 minutes, add 1 Tbsp. oil and a large pinch of salt. Heat oil until smoking, then remove skillet from heat and wipe out with a clean kitchen towel (this creates a temporary seal on the pan, like a faux nonstick surface).
- Season both sides of fillets with salt. Return skillet to high heat and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Once oil is hot and shimmering, add 1 fillet, lowering it into the pan away from you, skin side down. Press gently with a spatula until fillet no longer wants to curl up and entire skin side is flush with the skillet, ensuring complete and direct contact. Repeat with remaining fillet. Cook fish, pressing periodically with spatula, until fish is nearly cooked through (it should still be opaque and a bit raw at the thickest part of the fillet), about 3 minutes. Gently turn fish (working away from you so the oil doesn't splash on you) and finish cooking off heat, about another minute or so.
- To serve, spoon a bit of vinaigrette onto plates and place fish on top, skin side up (no point in working so hard to create a beautifully crisp skin only to cover it up with sauce!).
