- 1 tsp kosher salt (Diamond Brand recommended)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp ground black pepper
Marinade
- 3 tbsp ghee or unsalted melted butter
- 1 lime – juiced (about 2 tbs)
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup EVOO
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly-sliced
- 2 tbsp capers- drained
Other Ingredients
- 1 lb Sole or flounder style fish fillet
- 4-6 green onions top trimmed, halved length-wise
- 1 lime or lemon sliced
- ¾ cup roughly chopped fresh dill, parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
Make the salt seasoning
- In a small bowl or ramekin, mix the salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder. Set aside.
Make the Butter Sauce
- Melt the butter with a pinch of the seasoned salt mixture.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the shallots, garlic, capers & lime juice.
Prepare the fish
- Pat dry the sole and arrange on a sheet pan. Season both sides with the dry seasoning mixture. (Make sure the presentation side of the filet is up after seasoning.)
- Using a spoon, carefully spoon over with the fish with the butter sauce ensuring each piece gets some shallots, garlic and capers.
- Arrange the green onion halves & the lime slices on top of the fish in a casual fashion.
Cook the fish
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes depending on the thickness of the filets you are using. (optional- finish the fish for the last 2 minutes under the broiler to increase browning, but be careful not to overcook.
- Remove the fish fillets from the oven and garnish with the chopped dill, parsley or cilantro. (Cilantro is my personal favorite!)
