Melt in Your Mouth Butterfish!

Butterfish, also known as Sable Fish or Black Cod – is my VERY favorite of all fish. It is so rare to find in the markets through most of the year – today I found it at (thank you) Zupans!

Butterfish is named such for a reason – it is truly a melt-in-your-mouth buttery delectable –  AND – purported to have more Omega 3′s than salmon!

And super simple: I heat olive oil and then unsalted butter in a pan until the foam subsides, add crushed ginger (the tube from Gourmet Garden from Australia – I get mine from QFC) and crushed garlic (okay, I usually also use the pre prepared tube from Gourmet Garden too… – careful they don’t burn); add the rinsed and patted dry Butterfish, and merely saute over medium/just a bit hotter heat until it loses its translucence and begins to want to fall apart and has a beautiful golden hue.

I skip the carbs as you can see…

Enjoy!
