Buttered Lemon Tanigue

Ingredients

3 slices Tanigue steak

1 piece lemon

1/2 cup butter

1/2 head garlic minced

Salt and pepper

1 Tbsp. cooking oil

In a pan stir-fry garlic with cooking oil until fragrant. Then place the 1/2 cup butter in the pan and allow to melt in moderate heat stirring occasionally. Pour the melted sauce in a plastic container and place in the freezer to allow the sauce to solidify. Rub salt and pepper on the tanigue slices and drizzle with lemon juice let stand to marinate for at least 15 minutes. In a nonstick pan melt 1 tbsp butter and pan grill the tanigue slices one by one for 2-3 minutes each side at moderate heat or you can adjust the cooking time depending on your desired result but overcook to keep the fish moist. Place in a serving platter. Top with a scoop of semi solidified butter garlic and tanigue steak and serve. Garnish with lemon slice and parsley if desired.
