Total time: 40 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 25 min • Serves: 2 • Difficulty: Easy
Based on the French meunière-style sauce, made with browned butter, lemon, and parsley, this dish takes a decidedly Creole turn with the addition of spices and a few dashes of hot sauce. A little of the rich, full-flavored sauce goes a long way, so you don’t need much to add tons of flavor the fish. Serve with quickly sautéed spinach.This dish will work with other fish as well, being sure to adjusting the cooking time if you use thinner fillets.
