Zander in Lemon Butter
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Start preparing zander in lemon butter by cleaning the fillets, removing any bones if needed, rinsing, and patting dry with paper towels.
- 2
Lightly season each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 3
Wash and dry the lemon, grate a little zest, and squeeze out the juice. Set both aside.
- 4
Place flour in a shallow dish and coat the fillets on both sides.
Pan-Searing
- 5
Heat olive oil with half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 6
Place the zander fillets skin-side down, if skin is left on, and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden.
- 7
Turn the fillets and add the remaining butter. Fry another 2-3 minutes until the fish is tender and the surface lightly golden.
- 8
Towards the end, spoon freshly squeezed lemon juice over the fish and add a little lemon zest.
- 9
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
- 10
Transfer the fillets to plates and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
- 11
Serve warm with lemon slices and ideally with boiled potatoes or fresh bread.
More tips:
Drizzle a few drops of lemon on the other side of the fillets before frying for a more pronounced citrus flavor.
Fry the zander in a heavy-based pan over medium heat so the surface becomes nicely crispy while the flesh stays juicy inside.
