Ingredients
- 4 fish fillets about 8 oz each
- 8 oz unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
- 2 tsps salt

Instructions
- Melt the butter and pour about half into each of four ramekin dishes and set aside.
- Brush each fish fillet liberally with the remaining butter on both sides.
- Mix together the spices and thyme and sprinkle generously on each side of the fillets, patting it on by hand.
- Heat a large frying pan and add about 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter per fish fillet. When the butter is hot, add the fish, skin side down first.
- Turn the fish over when the underside is very brown and repeat with the remaining side. Add more butter as necessary during cooking.
- When the top side of the fish is very dark brown, repeat with the remaining fish fillets, keeping them warm while cooking the rest.
- Serve the fish immediately with the dishes of butter for dipping.
