This dish features pan-seared Mahi Mahi but any fish you prefer works well. If you buy fish with the skin on, be sure to fry it until it is completely crispy for a nice textural contrast to the rest of the dish. Mahi Mahi skin is a bit tough but salmon, snapper, or bass are wonderful for crisping. Roasted spring vegetables are sweet and tender and go wonderfully with a luxurious butter emulsion that gets a bit of lift from acidity from lemon.
If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can add the strained reduction back to a clean pan and whisk in the butter one piece at a time, whisking constantly and ensuring that each piece is fully incorporated before adding more until all butter is incorporated.
