  • 1/2 tsp Honey
  • 8 tbsp Butter (cold)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Micro arugula

Steps

  1. 1

    First, preheat a pan on high for 2 minutes. Add in some olive oil and after 30 seconds, add in your salted fish. Then, sear on medium high for 4-5 minutes, flip over. Sear for 1-2 minutes. Cover, turn heat off and let it rest for 2 minutes.
