Heat clarified butter (*) in heavy, large skillet until hot. Working in batches if necessary, saute fish slices until crusty and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to warm serving plates, and keep warm. Pour off all but about 1 Tbs. butter from skillet. Add shallot and toss briefly; carefully add 1/3 cup Cognac.

Strain over fish and serve.
