DH says it is a "Homerun!" I'm not much of a fish eater, but even I enjoyed this one... Seasoned the fish and the flour with the salt, pepper and paprika (added a bit of garlic powder to the flower as well!) and, once the fish was cooked and removed, added about 2 tsp of the seasoned flour mix to the broth/lemon juice and then reduced... made a fabulous dipping sauce... Thanks so very much! I will be using this often!!

This was light and tasty! I am always looking for new ways to cook fish and this is a winner! I followed the recipe exactly except I seasoned the fish with seasoned salt (in place of regular), ground pepper, garlic powder and the paprika before searing. I served this with rice and grilled asparagus. Thank you for a great recipe!

Mmmmm so good! I just finished eating this and had to rush in to review it. This was so good, it was ridiculous! :) I am adding this to my favorites. The only thing different I did was I went and ahead and just poured the broth/juice/butter over the fillets and continued cooking them for about 6 or 7 minutes. I can't wait for the leftovers tomorrow!

My husband, who really dislikes almost all seafood and I have been trying to eat more healthily and this is one of the recipes used for that goal. I have made it twice so far, the first time as written and then tonight with a few minor changes: Instead of just paprika I also used Old Bay and I added the zest of the lemon to the sauce and then thickened it with cornstarch so that is was less brothy. Final verdict? The resident fish hater said, and I quote: "This fish is REALLY good!" Thanks Chef for an awesome recipe that can convert even the die hard anti-swimmy thing eaters!
