Method

Place a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.


When very hot, add lemons cut-side down.


Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper.


When lemons just begin to brown, about 3 minutes, push them to one side of the skillet and add oil and fish.


Cook until fish is browned and just opaque in the center, about 4 minutes per side, lowering heat if lemons and fish brown too quickly.


Transfer fish to a platter and lemons to a cutting board.


Place the skillet over low heat and add shallot. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.


Stir in wine and cook for 1 minute.


Squeeze 2 lemon halves through a strainer into the skillet. Remove from heat and swirl in butter. Stir in thyme and pour sauce over fish.


Cut remaining lemon halves into wedges and serve with fish.
