Preparation
Step 1
in a bowl, combine the pepper, paprika, thyme, mustard, salt and cayenne. brush both sides of the fish with 2 tsp of the oil and gently rub the spice mix all over the fish.
in a small skillet, heat the butter over medium high heat, swirling the skillet, until the butter is a deep amber brown, about 3 mins; watch carefully to be sure it doesn't burn. whisk in the lemon juice and keep warm.
set a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and heat 1 tbs of the oil.

Serve immediately, spooning the butter over the fish.
