Recipe - Pan Fried Rockfish

A basic recipe that is a staple in my repertoire.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Rockfish
Salt
Pepper
2 Tbls. Olive Oil
2 Tbls. Butter Substitute (or Butter)

INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) Clean and fillet rockfish.  Cut fillets into portion sizes.  Score the skin on each fillet.  Salt and pepper each side of the fish.

(2) Heat oven to 350 Degrees F.  Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium high heat.  Add fish to pan, skin side down.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.  Flip fish over.  Add butter substitute (or butter).  Hold pan at an angle and spoon butter substitute over fish for 2 minutes before placing the fish into the oven to finish cooking (approx. 2 minutes).

*Cooking times will vary based on thickness of fish.
