Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Butterfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole Zest of lemon
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the butterfish fillets in a single layer.
Pat the butterfish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter together with the olive oil. Once melted, remove from heat.
Add the minced garlic, parsley, dill, thyme leaves, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter-olive oil mixture. Stir well to combine.
Season the butterfish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring even coverage.
Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish and spoon the herb-butter mixture generously over the top of each fillet.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
