    I used this recipe with halibut and first time out it was an absolute a home run. Your time and temperature directions were completely spot on. This will now be my favorite way to prepare halibut. Thank you Bridget.
  • This is a tried & true way of cooking fish filets. Exactly how we do in the Florida Keys❤(secret is to not over cook)

    Straight forward and easy to understand instructions. Thankful that I could understand everything you said and it didn't need any translation (from a foreign language). This will be my next fish dish.

    I made this last night as directed and it was just wonderful. Really important to use FRESH fish. Serve with rice and spoon pan juices over it!
  • @Rixdog01
    Great presentation. No bologna, right to it. Clearly described and quite pleasant. Will watch other of her recipes.
  • I am enjoying when ATK posts individual segments. So much easier to reference.
  • @serendipia725
    I made it using your instructions. It came out awesome!!!!! Didn’t have thyme, used rosemary. Fish I used was fresh gulf grouper. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I‘m actually pretty decent at cooking fish, i.e. not overcooking -but this classic brown butter basting wasn’t part of my repertoire. Now it is. Thanks for the clear explanations and demonstration.

    A handy tip to avoid having the fish stick (on a stainless) pan: Take your filets out of the refrigerator and stick them on an unheated pan, about 30 minutes or more before cooking. A paper sheet underneath is fine. This will get the cold filets to room temperature a bit faster. It will help you get a better browning because the inside of the filet will not be cooling off the outer surface so fast as it is browning. I also use this method for other proteins and to help thaw foods. A heavy stainless pan is a great heat sink, so it will warm up the fish without cooking it. You may not need to do this on a non-stick pan, but it will still give you a nicer crust.
  • I Wish I were there too. Would love to add parsley ed potatoes and grill asparagus.
  • @lenang9332
