Fish is one of my favorite party foods as it doesn’t need too much seasoning, cooks easily and is liked by all (adults + kids).

This summer season, I’ve decided to pair it with a mango-strawberry salsa (or you can call it a fruit salsa).

And to add that extra crispiness along with sweet-spicy flavors, I’m searing it using our favorite Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil.

If you’ve never tried this technique before, then you are missing out on some Really Amazing Flavors!!!

How to Make Pan Seared Fish: 

We are a huge fan of the Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil, as it’s made with really simple ingredients like:

Sweet cream

Canola oil

Salt

Which gives you the fresh butter taste you love with the spreadable convenience you want, right out of the refrigerator.

Apart from it being our regular breakfast essential (read Must Have’s), we love using Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil for sautéing and searing.

 

You can see above that we very lightly coated the fish with a spicy paste along with a sprinkle of homemade flour (mentioned in recipe ingredients).

Then add 3tbsp of butter with canola oil to sizzle & sear the entire fish fillet.

This buttery sear gives it a bright golden crust that’s extremely crisp yet light.

Ingredients for the Mango Strawberry Fruit Salsa:

While the fish sears, you can make the fresh fruit salsa, cling wrap or seal it and keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

I recommend making a huge batch of this fruit salsa as it finishes really fast and you might not even get a second helping.

So make two batches and keep one in the fridge while you serve the first one.

I recommend serving the Pan pan-seared fish along with steamed rice as that goes well with the lightness of the meal.

However, you can serve it with any grain of choice like quinoa, couscous, etc.

 

So this summer season, enjoy this Al-Fresco kind of Pan Seared Fish meal that’s filled with light and fresh flavors.

Also, as mentioned above, use Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil in not just your breakfast menu, but also to enjoy cooking light and flavorful meals.
