Sautéed Lemon Calamari
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 pound (4 thin pieces) calamari (giant squid)
- Grated peel and juice of 1/2 Sunkist® lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion (scallion)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Makes 4 servings.
In a large skillet, heat the butter with the garlic salt; sauté the calamari for 2 minutes on each side. (Calamari will remain white when fully cooked; do not brown.) Add lemon peel and juice, green onion, and parsley; sauté briefly. Garnish with lemon cartwheel slices, if desired.
SOLE VARIATION:
If calamari is unavailable, substitute 1 pound sole fillets. Proceed as above, sautéing the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and fish flakes easily with a fork.
