Ingredients
Directions
3-4 boneless/skinless swai filletssalt and pepper1/4 cup flour1 Tbsp vegetable oil2 Tbsp unsalted butter, separated1/2 cup white wine1 Tbsp lemon juice2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Lightly salt and pepper both sides of the fish
Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate and dredge the fish in the flour until evenly coated on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is glistening hot, add the fish. You may have to do two batches if your fish doesn't all fit into the pan at once. Sear the fish about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes a side, depending on how thick your fillets are. You want them golden brown, set aside on a serving platter.
In the same pan, add the wine, lemon juice and thyme, cook over medium heat. When it comes to a boil, turn down to a low simmer and cook over medium heat. When it comes to a boil, turn down to a low simmer and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring and scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. The liquid should reduce a bit but there should still be enough to make the sauce. Please note, that the sauce does not thicken, just reduces, this is a very thin sauce.
Turn off the heat and add a tablespoon of cold butter, Swirl the butter around in the reduced sauce until it melts and sauce thickens. (as stated above this is a very thin sauce)
Spoon sauce over the fish and serve immediately.
