This is a @pesto_princess ‘s recipe, using our kingklip and their super popular basil & lemon pesto (which is the dairy free alternative to their classic basil pesto). We stock basil & lemon pesto in a 130g jar, 500g tub or 1kg tub.
Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and allow it to melt (a light coloured pan can make this step easier). Add the garlic and stir for about three minutes – you’ll notice the butter starts to smell nutty and should turn golden brown. Remove from the heat and pour into a clean bowl, adding the lemon juice, zest, garlic and seasoning. Leave to cool before adding the Pesto Princess Basil & Lemon Pesto.
Pat the fish dry using a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and dust with flour on both sides. Shake off any excess flour before cooking in olive oil in a very hot pan. Cook for about three minutes on each side, or longer for thicker cuts of fish, until golden and crispy along the edges.
Serve immediately with steamed broccoli and drizzle with your Basil & Lemon Pesto butter sauce.
