Critical Success Points

  • Drying the fish thoroughly before cooking.
  • Searing the skin side in clarified butter at the correct temperature.

  • Finishing the sauce with whole butter, capers, and lemon at the end.

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when working with hot butter and oil to prevent burns.
  • Fish spatulas and knives are sharp—handle with care.
