Before you start grilling, gather all necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 fish fillets (such as salmon or tilapia)
- 3 tbsp butter (or olive oil for a lighter option)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to prepare a mouthwatering grilled fish with garlic butter:
- Preheat the grill or skillet to medium heat to ensure even cooking.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic and lemon juice. This combination creates a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the natural flavors of the fish.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side. The fish is done when it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. The parsley adds a touch of color and a hint of freshness.
