Skate in brown butter is a traditional fish dish originating from Ireland. The dish is usually made with a combination of skate, onions, bay leaves, parsley, lemon juice, butter, white wine vinegar, capers, and salt. Skate (or ray) wings are placed in a skillet with onions, bay leaves, parsley, water, lemon juice, and salt.

The ingredients are cooked until the flesh easily lifts from the cartilage. The butter is melted until brown in a saucepan and then mixed with white wine vinegar, capers, and salt. The skate is divided into individual portions and drizzled with brown butter.
