brown butter fish with lemon and capers

Over the weekend we went to the fish market down in Wynyard Quarter and picked up some lovely fresh seafood. I decided to make one of my favorite recipes from my cookbook, this incredible pan fried fish with the most stunning brown butter, lemon and caper sauce that leaves a nutty rich taste with every mouthful. Basil and parsley are added to the sauce right at the very end, for a subtle touch of sweetness. It was beautiful!
