Skate Wing with Hazelnut Butter Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 skate wings, skinned
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Season the skate wings generously with salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, hazelnuts, lemon juice, and parsley. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and coat the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the skate wings and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
6. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully spoon the hazelnut butter over the top of the cooked skate wings.
8. Place the skillet back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the butter has melted and starts to bubble.
