Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler on high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil and lightly grease the foil with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, prepare the dill butter by combining the softened butter, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly brush them with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on each fillet for seasoning.
Spread a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the dill butter mixture onto the top of each fish fillet.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fish for about 6-8 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
While the fish is broiling, melt the remaining dill butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t separate.
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the melted dill butter over the top of the fillets.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a side of your favorite vegetables or rice.
