Instructions

1. 1

   Season the fish with salt and lightly dust with flour.

2. 2

   In a pan, melt a generous amount of butter over medium heat until it browns and smells nutty (be careful not to burn it).

   Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the pan.

6. 6

   Lower the heat and add the minced shallot to the remaining brown butter in the pan. Sauté briefly.

7. 7

   Add the capers and lemon segments to the pan, stirring to create the sauce base.

8. 8

   Stir in chopped fresh dill and parsley.

9. 9

   Spoon the brown butter sauce over the cooked fish.
