Seared Fish With Kimchi and Chicken Sausage

A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. You can use virtually any white fish fillet, skin on, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching.
