Instructions

Equipment you will use

Bowl

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a hot pan until almost smoking, then add 1 or 2 fillets (as many as will fit comfortably) flesh side down. After 1 minute, add 2 teaspoons of butter to the pan, and watch the skin of the fish: when it begins to curl, about 1 to 2 minutes longer, turn the fish. Cook on the skin side just another 30 seconds or so, then remove to a warm oven while you cook the remaining fish with the rest of the oil and butter.
