Step 1

Rinse and dry pieces of fish. Lightly season each piece with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a large skillet on medium heat until golden brown (and a lot of the "foaminess" has settled down a bit). Carefully add the fish fillets to the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes (the bottom edges of the fish will start to turn light brown in color).

Step 3

CAREFULLY turn the fillets with a large spatula (they will easily tear if not extremely careful). Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes on other side, until done, spooning melted butter over the top of fish as it cooks. Carefully remove fish to a large platter or dish, and keep warm while you make the sauce. Do not clean out the skillet.

Step 4

To make sauce:

Step 5

Using same skillet you cooked fish in, melt remaining 3 Tablespoons butter on medium heat. Let it cook until it turns golden brown (but do not let it burn). Add juice of lemon , chopped parsley, and oregano (if using) to skillet. Stir to combine ingredients. Remove pan from heat.

Step 6

Place 1-2 pieces of fish onto individual serving plate, then spoon some of the sauce and herbs over the top of the fish. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon and additional parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
