Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp finely chopped shallot
1 tsp finely grated fresh lime zest
2 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp minced fresh thai or serrano chile (preferably red), including seeds
1/2 tsp salt
6 (5- to 6-oz) pieces skinless tilapia fillet or farm-raised striped bass fillets with skin
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions:

Make chile lime butter: Stir together butter, shallot, zest, lime juice, chile, and salt in a bowl.
Prepare fish: If using striped bass, score skin in 3 or 4 places with a thin sharp knife to prevent fish from curling (do not cut through flesh). Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking, then sauté 3 pieces of fish, turning over once with a spatula, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a plate. Sauté remaining fish in remaining tablespoon oil in same manner.
Serve each piece of fish with a dollop of chile lime butter.
Cooks' note: · Chile lime butter can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using.
