Ingredients

  1. 4 Glacier 51 Toothfish portions (approx. 180-200g each)
  2. Salt
  3. Black pepper
  4. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  5. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  6. 1 lemon, halved (juice of one half reserved for the sauce, the other half cut into wedges to serve)
  7. 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  8. Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Pat the toothfish portions dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter until it starts to foam.
  3. Add the seasoned portions to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, to achieve a golden crust.
  4. Flip the portions gently and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and foam slightly.
  6. Add the capers and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
  7. Stir in the reserved lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet to make a light sauce.
  8. Pour the lemon-caper sauce over the cooked fish portions and serve immediately with the remaining lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip

Pan seared Glacier 51 Toothfish is all about rich texture, simplicity, and balance. The fish naturally has a buttery, delicate flesh that becomes beautifully silky when cooked gently, while pan searing creates a crisp golden crust that adds contrast and depth. Butter, lemon, and capers enhance the natural sweetness of the toothfish without overpowering it, creating a luxurious seafood dish that feels elegant, refined, and incredibly satisfying.
