Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as halibut, cod, or salmon)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, then taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To serve, plate the grilled fish fillets and generously drizzle the garlic white wine and butter sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
