Ingredients

2 1/4 lb White Fish Fillets (any firm white fish will do)
3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Salted Butter
1 tbsp Dried Dill
1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
1/4 tsp Dried Fennel Seeds
1 tsp Coriander
1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Granulated Sugar

Directions

1

To a spice grinder, add all spice mixture ingredients and grind until a powder forms.
2

Dust the tops of each fillet evenly with the spice mixture and gently pat it into the flesh.
3

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add EVOO and butter (you will likely need to add a little more of each as it evaporates later on to prevent sticking).
4

Place two fillets at a time spice side down in the heated skillet.
5

Sear for about two minutes on each side and remove.
6

You may want to place them gently on a cooling rack to drain any excess oil (do not put on a paper towel, they will stick).
