Easy Lemon Butter Sauce for Fish and Seafood

"This is a traditional German sauce that is usually served over trout. You can dredge trout in flour and cook in butter in a pan. After you cook your trout in the pan, just make this in the same pan to get those flavours! You can absolutely use this on any seafood. Enjoy!"

  1. Loved this... I was in a hurry so I combined the ingredients in a small dish and heated it in the microwave. Briefly whisked it, then poured it over a sauteed tilapia filet. Delicious!
     
  2. This is an easy and delicious recipe. I omitted the Worcestershire. Not a fan of it. I served baked cod on a bed of angel hair pasta. Poured the sauce over fish. Everybody loved it. :)
     
  3. Very good sauce. I added a little mayonnaise to thicken it a bit and drizzled it over some Tlapia fillet that I had baked with Lemon-Pepper. It was so good my family asked for more sauce to dip their fish in.
     
  4. Best recipe ever. Only change I made was just about 3 drops of Worcestershire sauce. I have this now saved in my sauces folder. Yes I'll be using it every chance I get with fish.
     
  5. I'm not much of a cook, but my wife gave me 5 stars for my pasta weesie tonight, going so far as to say it was better than Carrabas's.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
