    In a shallow dish, add flour and season with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Give a quick stir to combine before placing the filet in the flour mixture, making sure to coat the fish very well on both sides. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
  • 3
    In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp. clarified butter and 1 tbsp. lemon juice; swirl the pan to blend the ingredients. When it gets hot, place the filet and pan fry it until nice and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip it and fry the other side until golden as well.
