Nice tip.  I'll have to try that some time.  Instead of peanut
butter, large grocery stores and most health food stores sell
peanut oil in bottles.  That should make cleanup even quicker.

It's also terrific with red snapper or Chilean sea bass.  Toss a
few capers and a teaspoon of fresh, chopped garlic in the pan and
braise for 4 minutes on each side.  Then pour 1/2 cup of water
into the skillet transfer the whole thing into a 450º over for a
few minutes until the fish breaks cleanly with a fork and the
meat is opaque.  Outstanding!
