Iknow, I am just so focused on healthy with flavour. I really am amazed at whay flavour is still there with so much less FAT. I am just saddened looking around at our children who are obese and diabetic-----less is best always. What has happened to America? 50% of the people are overweight, why? Fast food, too much fat and we don't walk anywhere. I think it was Chef John here today who said for "Lazy Americans".........why should we be Lazy Americans? BTW Great Tandoori chicken recipe Chef John!

We love fried fish, but to make it healthy I use 21 tsp of seasoned flour on each fillet, and fry in 1 tsp olive oil each fillet. This is something I developed for Weight Watcher friendly eating-and it tastes fabulous but is local cal but BIG on flour. Of course I use a non-stick pan (Circulon) and it works great. Another tip is to use a spray olive oil, non aerosole so you don't damage the non-stick surface of the pan.

Thanks for your comments! Keep in mind, this fish is only pan fried, not deep fat fried - also you can use only 1 Tbs of butter if you prefer - olive oil is great for your heart and 1 Tbs of butter over 1 lb of fish is so little fat - for so much flavour! I also love olive oil spray, as you mentioned the non aerosol kind is desirable.
