      Yield: 6 servings 
  
  1 1/2 lb Grouper or snapper fillets 
           -(or substitute boneless, 
           -skinless chicken breast) 
           Salt 
           Pepper 
           Flour 
      2 tb Olive or vegetable oil 
      4 tb Butter, optional 
      1    Juice of lemon (opt) 
  
  Sprinkle fish fillets (or chicken pieces) liberally with salt and 
  pepper. Coat the pieces with flour, patting them firmly, then shaking 
  off excess flour. 
   
  Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wide skillet (or 2 wide skillets), and 
  cook the fish over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until browned. 
  Turn fish pieces over and cook another 3-4 minutes longer. 
   
  Remove fish from skillet and keep warm. Add butter and heat until it 
  turns a deep brown. Remove from heat and add juice of one fresh 
  lemon. Pour over fish or chicken. This final sauce may be augmented 
  with capers or minced garlic, if desired. Add them after butter 
  before lemon juice.
