Cilantro, FINALLY.

I love cilantro and I swear I ALWAYS forget to pick it up at the market or when I did get it, I did not have other complimentary ingredients.  Not for this meal.  Simple, light, flavorful, I enjoy adjectives (I am becoming my mother).

Basa (that awesome fish from the previous, Feeding Becky, post) in Cilantro Lime Herb Butter

1 lb (2 fillets) of basa, which can be substituted with flounder or sole
3 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of cilantro
1/4 cup of minced green onion
3/4 small,medium sized lime
dash of salt
1 tablespoon parsley

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the onion.  When onions start to become transparent, add the cilantro, parsley and dash of salt.  Turn down the heat to low and squeeze 1 quarter of the lime onto everything.  The lime will make everything sizzle.  Turn the heat back up a tiny bit and melt the last tablespoon of butter.  Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side.  Squeeze the other two lime quarters onto the fillets while they are cooking.

On the side we had green beans sauteed garlic, butter, salt and pepper.

Ok, ok, ok three fish dishes in a row.  I could eat seafood everyday but a little more variety is next!
