    Pan Seared Fish Fillets Recipe

    Ever since i started my continental food series, i have been planning to make a continental style fish platter.. Finally made it a week before for hubby and he enjoyed it to the core. He told me that he loved the crispy fish skin with the lemony creamy sauce and the fish was very moist and flaky. If you serve this along with butter rice and some veggies, i am sure it will be a complete meal.

    About Pan Seared Fish 

    Searing (or pan searing) is a grilling, baking, braising, roasting, sautéing, and other cooking techniques in which the surface of the food (usually meat: beef, poultry, pork, seafood) is cooked at high temperature until a browned crust forms. A well-browned crust usually improves the appearance of the food.

    Pan-frying is considered healthier than deep-frying because it uses less oil. Furthermore, choose an oil that is stable at high temperatures and will add healthier fats to your fish.

    Ingredients for Pan Seared Fish Fillets

    Fish Fillet  :
    A fish fillet is the flesh of a fish that has been cut or sliced away from the bone by cutting lengthwise along one side of the fish parallel to the backbone. Any scales on the fish should be removed before filleting.

    Lemon Juice :
    Lemon juice is a common cooking and baking ingredient. It imparts a bright, citrusy flavour to both savoury and sweet dishes. With a low pH, it is one of the most acidic natural ingredients available, providing structure to jams and jellies and aiding in the proper rise of baked goods.

    Pepper :
    Peppers distinct flavour compliment almost any savoury dish, as well as some sweet dishes. If salt helps to bring out flavours, black pepper makes foods more assertive.

    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
