Instructions
For The Sauce:
Heat a large skillet over high heat.
Add the wine, lemon juice, garlic, and shallots and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and hot sauce and simmer until the mixture is slightly thick, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the cream and cook for 1 minute.
Over low heat, whisk in the butter a few pats at a time. Continue whisking until all of the butter is combined with the sauce.
For The Fish:
Mix fish spice blend ingredients together.
Season both the fish and flour with spices and dredge the fish in the seasoned flour or panko/almond mixture, coating completely.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and pan-fry the fish for about 4 minutes on each side.
To serve, drizzle some lemon butter sauce on each plate. Top with fish and drizzle more sauce over top of fish. Garnish with fresh parsley.
