2. Preheat oven to 425*F. Combine butter and garlic in a heavy medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat till butter melts and garlic begins to brown, about 12 minutes, stirring occaionally. Discard garlic cloves. Add panko to butter(mix will bubble); cook till golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice; remove from heat. Stir in smoked paprika. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm while preparing fish.

3. Remove fish from marinade and drain. Sprinkle fish with coarse salt. Heat remaining 1 tbls. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Turn fillets over; place skillet in the oven and roast until fish is just opaque in center, about 2 minutes.
