Ingredients:

  • 2 (6 oz / 170g) white fish fillets (Cod, Halibut, or Mahi Mahi)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • ½ tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) salt

Instructions:

  1. Pat the fish fillets bone-dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water dances and evaporates instantly.
  3. Place fillets on the grill. Press down slightly to ensure contact. Cook for 3–5 minutes per side until the fish develops a deep mahogany crust and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest on a plate.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1 tbsp (15g) of the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Add the remaining 3 tbsp (42g) of butter. Stir constantly as it melts and begins to foam.
  6. Turn heat to low and whisk in the lemon juice until the sauce thickens slightly and looks creamy.
  7. Stir in the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
  8. Immediately spoon the sauce over the rested fillets.
