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:
- Pat the fish fillets bone-dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water dances and evaporates instantly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the remaining 3 tbsp (42g) of butter. Stir constantly as it melts and begins to foam.
- Turn heat to low and whisk in the lemon juice until the sauce thickens slightly and looks creamy.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
- Immediately spoon the sauce over the rested fillets.
