Step 1
Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
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.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush the grates with the 1 tbsp olive oil.
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.
Step 5
Remove the fish to a plate and immediately top each fillet with a spoonful of the herb butter.
Step 6
Squeeze the juice of the 1 lemon over the fish and serve hot.
Step 7
Garnish with extra herbs if you like.
