Pan-Grilled Black Bass with Flavoured Butters

This elegant pan-grilled black bass with flavoured butters is a fantastic choice for a nutritious, high-protein supper. By using a griddle pan, you achieve a beautifully crisp skin and a smoky char that perfectly complements the delicate, flaky white fish. The dish is elevated with a side of zesty tenderstem broccoli, lightly sautéed with lemon and a hint of chilli for a bright, clean flavour profile that balances the richness of the butter.

Ideal for a quick weeknight meal or an effortless dinner party main, this recipe works beautifully with trout, cod, or haddock if bass is unavailable. The secret lies in the flavoured butters, which melt into the warm fish to create an instant, savoury sauce. Serve it simply with the prepared greens for a light yet satisfying homemade meal that is high in protein and full of fresh, seasonal appeal.

  • 2 cucharadas de mantequilla sin sal

  • 1 cucharadita de ralladura de limón finamente rallada

  • 1/2 cucharadita de hojuelas de pimiento rojo triturado

  • Pimienta negra recién molida

  • 4 (170g) black bass or trout fillets or skinless cod or haddock fillets

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided Maître d'Hôtel Butter , Nasturtium Butter , and Chilli-Coriander Butter

How to make Pan-Grilled Black Bass with Flavoured Butters

Cook broccolini in a pot of boiling salted water just until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium until foaming. Add broccolini, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, just until broccolini is warmed through and coated in butter.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Pat black bass fillets dry; this will help keep the fish from sticking to the pan while cooking. Place flour on a plate and season generously with salt and pepper (you are not seasoning the fish itself). Working one at a time, dredge fillets in flour, shaking off excess. Spread butter over flesh side of fillets as if buttering a slice of bread.

Add fillets, flesh side down, to pan; they should sizzle upon contact. Cook just until grill marks appear and butter is browned, about 1 minute. Turn and cook, pressing gently so entire skin side is in contact with the pan's ridges, until skin is browned and crisp and fillets are cooked through, about 4 minutes longer.

Serve black bass fillets with broccolini and flavoured butters, which will soften on contact with the warm fish.
