How to Make Lemon Fish

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the zest of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  2. Cut each fish fillet in half (if necessary, depending on size) and gently place them in the hot pan.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
  4. Remove the fish from the pan and pour 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice over the fillets.
  5. Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
