My husband likes to fish, and he came home today with an 8-10 lb. yellowtail. After cutting it all up, we wound up with 4 fillets. We cooked it up and it was delicious! Below is the recipe we came up with.
INGREDIENTS
4 Yellowtail Fillets Skinned and De-Boned
1 Tbsp Olive Oil, for cooking
2 Tbs Butter or Margarine, for cooking
Marinade
2 Tsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbs Parsley, Chopped
1 Clove Garlic, Grated or Minced
¾ Tsp Kosher Salt
½ Tsp Black Pepper
½ Tsp White Pepper
For a complete meal, I like to serve this fish with a long grain wild rice (for ease, I use Rice-A-Roni) and side of pan roasted broccoli.
DIRECTIONS
Chop the parsley
Grate or mince the garlic
In a Ziploc bag, place the lemon juice, parsley, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and white pepper
Add the fish
Seal the bag and gently rub all of the ingredients together so the fish is well coated
Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes
In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil and once heated, add 1 Tbs of butter
Add the fish, presentation side down and cook for 2-3 minutes
Flip the fish over; add the remaining 1 Tbs of butter, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes
Be sure the fish is no longer translucent
Remove from skillet and place on serving platter
