Notes
Don't overcook the fish. This seems obvious but when you’re pan frying the fish
it’s going to cook very quickly! You’re looking for a nice dark golden brown sear
on the outside of the fish and a tender, flaky inside. This will be achieved with
just a few minutes of cooking on the first side and only a couple minutes of
searing on the second side. This is not a dish you want to walk away from while
it’s cooking on the stove because it’s so easy to overcook!

Whatever you do - use fresh lemon for this recipe. Nothing is going to replace
the fresh lemon juice and zest in this recipe. It is the key ingredient and you are
going to love every light and lemony bite!

Feel free to use another kind of pasta in this dish. I love the long strands of
sgetti in this recipe but penne, bucatini, bow ties or even rotini would be great
in this lemon butter fish dish too. The sauce is going to get into every nook and
cranny of your pasta and deliver that lemon butter flavor into every single bite.
