4 center-cut-striped-bass fillets (1inch thick, 6oz each), with skin on
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Coarse sea salt
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dry the fillets thoroughly with paper towels (this will help keep the skin crisp), season them wish kosher salt and pepper on both sides, and then add them, skin side down, to the skillet. Reduce the heat (The oil should sizzle, not sputter) and cook the fillets until the skin becomes crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets and gently brown the other side, about 3 more minutes.
2. Add the butter and thyme. Continue cooking, turning the fillets once or twice so they brown evenly, and basting with the lightly browned butter. Cook until the fish is opaque, about 4 minutes. Serve at once, drizzled with the browned butter and sprinkled with coarse sea salt.

Lauren Brown of WorldNow has written a great article that includes a brief history of tea, the culture of tea, and the politics of tea.
Almost 5,000 years ago, a Chinese emperor discovered tea leaves steeped in hot water made a delicious drink, and the practice has since caught on.
