  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • Zest of 3 lemons
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 tablespoon salt
    • 1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    • 4 halibut fillets or other firm white fish (8 ounces each)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into thirds

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, sugar, salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and dill. Place fillets in a shallow, nonreactive container. Cover with lemon-dill marinade, and refrigerate 3 hours.
  2. Remove fish from container; set marinade aside. Heat a large saute pan coated with olive oil. Saute fillets until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat; transfer fillets to a platter. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  3. Turn heat to high; add reserved marinade. When it bubbles and browns, add remaining lemon juice. Cook 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Add butter, swirling pan to melt. Remove pan from heat. Pour sauce over fillets, and serve.
