Directions
For the fish
-
1.Pre-heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
2.Add butter and olive oil to the pan and heat to a simmer. Add fish and do not fiddle with it. Let sear for 4 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium. Turn the fish over, shut the heat off (the residual heat continues to cook the fish), and let it rest in the skillet for 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to a serving platter.
-
3.In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
-
4.Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, and add the lemon and lime juice.
-
5.Simmer until reduced by half and add the lime zest.
-
6.Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter to give the sauce a creamy texture. Remove from heat, add the cilantro, and drizzle over the fish.
For the salsa
-
7.In a large bowl, gently combine everything together. Season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper, to taste. Serve over rice or with any side of your choice!
