Lemon Butter Cobia

Step 1

Add butter to skillet over medium heat. Melt and stir butter for about 3 minutes until it smells nutty and turns golden brown. Remove and pour into a bowl. Add lemon juice to the melted butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust accordingly (more lemon juice or salt and pepper) then set aside.

Step 2

Use a paper towel and pat dry cobia fillet. Season with salt and pepper, then add flour and rub evenly. Do the same for the other side.

Step 3

Add oil to skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot enough and starting to smoke, add fish and cook till edges are golden, about 1½ minutes. Carefully flip and cook through. Fish should be flaky when forked. Transfer to serving plates.

Step 4

Add around 1 tbsp of lemon butter to fish and garnish with lemon wedges and freshly chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!
