Directions

GETTING READY
1. Prep the fish by removing all extra bones.
2. Season it with salt and white pepper. If the fish has skin, dust a little bit of flour on the skin.
3. In a small saucepan put the orange and lime juice.
4. Into a little bowl take the cornstarch and dissolve it with a little bit of the juice.
5. Add to the pan. Add the zests. Mix constantly until liquid starts to boil and thicken a bit.
6. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the cilantro and set aside.

MAKING
7. Heat a large skillet until really hot.
8. Add some olive oil to the very hot skillet. Place the fish in the skillet, skin side down.
9. Press fish down with a spatula so skin sears and sets. Put 1 tablespoon butter.
10. Cook for about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for an extra 4 minutes.

SERVING
11. On a serving platter serve the fish drizzled with the prepared citrus butter.
