How To Pan Sear ANY Fish
Here is a simple step-by-step on how to pan sear your fish. To demonstrate how to pan sear fish, we used the Wolf teppanyaki. You can use any fish for this recipe, and any cooktop surface.
Starting off with pan searing, you will want to preheat your cooktop to high. We’re using the wolf teppanyaki, but if you are cooking on another surface, you can follow these same steps. Add a little bit of olive oil.
The teppanyaki is fantastic for fish and, all kind of dishes. Anything you want to pan sear in a pan you can do on your teppanyaki. It’s a great entertaining piece for cooking in front of your friends, or with your family. Make sure to cook your fish with the presentation side down, skin side up.
The back of the fish will be where the scales and the skin are. We’ll season this filet with 2 tablespoons of old bay seasoning, ¼ tablespoon of salt, and ¼ tablespoon of pepper.
A good tip for pan searing is to make sure your fish is dry. This will prevent sticking and create an even sear. This should take about 2 minutes on this side before we flip the filet.
The best indication of a quality sear is when you start to see white around the edges. For some added flavor, we’re going to broil some lemons in the right zone, while my fish cooks on low in the left. What I'm going to do is brown the lemons on one side, then flip them and put the fish on top.
For additional richness and glaze, add 2 tablespoon of butter on top of your filet. Then finish it off by topping it with parsley, which will not only give it color, but this brings all of the flavors together.
Definitely looks great with the color, great lemon. What we want to achieve is the hard sear. Once we flip it over, we will lower the heat and carry over cook.
This pan seared fish is a nice light dish. You could, serve this with rice, you could serve this with a salad, and this could even be a fish sandwich.
Ingredients:
- 1 piece of white fish
