Needed:

Pompano Fillets
Paprika
Butter
Fresh minced garlic (finely minced)
Lemon or Lime (2 slices)


Take your fresh Pompano fillets and lay them out on a cookie sheet. Allow them to reach room temperature. This is important, if cold it will harden the melted butter and not spread evenly. In a glass bowl put butter, minced garlic, paprika and squeeze 2 slices of lemon or lime. Melt in the microwave. It should have a nice deep red color. Baste over the fish (I use a silicone basting brush). Sprinkle fillets with a last dash of paprika on top of butter mix. Preheat oven to Broil. My oven default broil setting is 500 degree F. This particular batch took 9 mins but smaller Pompano may take less time depending on your oven temperature as well. The fish is done when the meat starts to pull away from the skin and the garlic and paprika blacken/brown on top. Presto. Yummm

P.S. Adding tarter sauce or any sauce to Pompano is simply rude )
