Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mash the 4 tbsp softened butter with the 2 tbsp chopped parsley and 1 tbsp chopped dill. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush the grates with the 1 tbsp olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Place the fillets on the grill and cook until they have nice grill marks and are opaque, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the fish to a plate and immediately top each fillet with a spoonful of the herb butter.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze the juice of the 1 lemon over the fish and serve hot.

    Garnish with extra herbs if you like.
