How to Make Fish Fillet And Scallops In Green Peppercorn Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it begins to foam and lightly brown.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 2 (6-ounce) fish fillets (cod, halibut, or similar), and 1/2 pound sea scallops.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and the scallops are lightly browned, stirring gently to avoid breaking them.
  4. Add 1/4 cup green peppercorns (in brine, drained), 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the pan and remove from the heat.
  5. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges (optional).
