Fish Fillets With Pine Nuts And Capers

Cut fish into serving portions of about the same size. Salt and pepper pieces on both sides. Grind pine nuts finely. Dredge fish on both sides in nuts and press lightly with fingers to make nuts adhere.

In nonstick skillet, heat half the oil and 1 teaspoon of butter. Add half the fish and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Baste fish as it cooks. Turn pieces and cook about 2 minutes. If thick fish is used, cover and cook about 2 minutes longer. Repeat with second batch, using same amount of oil and butter. Transfer fish to warm platter.

Heat remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in clean skillet and, when it starts to brown, add capers and cook over high heat, shaking skillet and stirring, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and pour over fish. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
