Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lemon sole fillets
- 2 pieces lemongrass stalks
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces freshly sliced lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grilling pan to medium-high heat.
Prepare the lemongrass butter by trimming the tough outer layers of the lemongrass stalks. Finely chop the soft core.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add the chopped lemongrass, minced garlic cloves, and lemon zest. Stir for 2 minutes to infuse the butter with flavor.
Remove the infused butter from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside to keep warm.
Pat the lemon sole fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the fish on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled lemon sole from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Brush the warm lemongrass butter generously over the fillets. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor boost.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
