Striped Bass with Browned Hazelnut Butter, Lemon, and Parsley

This elegant pan-fried striped bass dish is a masterclass in balancing textures and delicate flavours. The firm, white flesh of the fish is perfectly complemented by the crunch of toasted hazelnuts and a rich, golden butter sauce. It is a sophisticated choice for a weekday dinner or a weekend dinner party, offering a restaurant-quality finish with very little effort in the kitchen.

As a healthy, protein-rich main course, this recipe relies on fresh, seasonal ingredients to shine. The addition of bright lemon zest and flat-leaf parsley cuts through the richness of the browned butter, creating a beautifully balanced plate. Serve it simply with steamed green beans or crushed new potatoes to soak up every drop of the fragrant nut butter sauce.
