This is a really great broiled fish recipe. I made this with walleye fillets and used less butter, about half, than the recipe called for...just to cut down on calories a bit. The flour gives a nice little crustiness to the surface and the added lemon at serving time was perfect. I'm going to have to memorize this recipe, or carry a copy in my back pocket, as my husband is always bringing home different kinds of fish that he's caught. Thanks for the great recipe Heather!
