Step 1
Pat fish dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Add shallot to the pan, cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in white wine, scrape up any browned bits, then add mixed vegetables. Cook 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 5
Push vegetables to the side. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the empty space, then lay fish in the pan.
Step 6
Sear fish 3 minutes per side without moving — surface should be golden and opaque in the center.
Step 7
Squeeze lemon juice over everything. Scatter fresh herbs on top. Serve immediately.
