• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

SAUCE

• 2 lemons
• 1 lemon, the zest
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 garlic clove, crushed and finely chopped
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

FISH

• 2 (8 ounce) white fish fillets (or tilapia)
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgen olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Directions:

1. Juice both lemons and set aside. In a small pot, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, wine, shallot and garlic.
2. Cook over high heat until reduced to half. Remove from heat, cool slightly. When lemon mixture is warm, cut in butter and whisk together. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Bring to room temperature before grill them. Heat grill over high heat.
4. Brush fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill fish for 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Place fish in plates and top with lemon butter sauce. Serve immediately over warm pasta or with shrimp instead of fish, if you prefer.

The sauce is just what we wanted. It does not overwhelm the fish. I served it over a whole BBQ snapper. Just what I wanted, flavor and not heavy. I only had 1 lime so I had to replace the lemons for 1 lime and added 2 more cloves of garlic.

Very good. I wasn't able to get the specified fish from my grocer, so used sole in it's place. Made for Special Meals Photo Forum Event. :)
