  • Remove the lid and add the cold butter in the pan. Swirl to create a sauce not a pool of melted butter! add a squeeze of lemon if desired and check the seasoning.
  • Remove from the heat and serve immediately two pieces of fish on a bed of mash potatoes on each serving dish with spoons of kale mixture and the butter sauce.
