Place butter in a saucepan over low heat and melt. The milk solids and water will\u00a0 separate from the butter fat. Cool.

Place fish in the pan presentation side down (if skin on, place flesh side down). Fish should sizzle. Cook for 2-3 minutes just until presentation side of the fish is slightly brown and crispy.\u00a0 Use a fish spatula to turn fish over and cook on the bottom side for 2 minutes. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Baste with Butter.<\/span> Add <i>cold<\/i> butter to pan.
