All Purpose Fish

Ingredients:

• Fish of choice

• 1 Lemon

• Kerrygold or other butter of choice

• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Cut fish into size pieces you want

  • If cooking as a whole fillet follow same instructions

• Wash fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels

  • or for zero waste, a no lint cotton tea towel

• If the fish still has bones take a pair of clean kitchen needle nose pliers and pull them out carefully so as to not disrupt the appearance of the flesh too much.

• Line a baking pan with aluminum foil

  • If avoiding aluminum parchment paper will also work splendidly

• If fish has skin put skin side down so it's easier to slide a spatula between skin and flesh when serving

  • If you like skin, you can put skin side up and broil the skin for the last 2-3 minutes so the skin crisps up. Make sure you oil the pan underneath the flesh though or you will have stickage.

• Place a pat of butter of choice right in the center of the fish

  • I personally like Kerrygold but any butter would work fine

  • (for larger pieces space the butter evenly every 2” or so apart)

• Thinly slice a lemon and put several slices on top of the butter

• Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the lemon

• Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes @ 400*F

  • Cook time will vary depending on thickness of fish

  • Always start with less time and adjust from there
