Ingredients

• 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler on high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil and lightly grease the foil with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the dill butter by combining the softened butter, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.

Step 4

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly brush them with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on each fillet for seasoning.

Step 5

Spread a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the dill butter mixture onto the top of each fish fillet.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fish for about 6-8 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

While the fish is broiling, melt the remaining dill butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t separate.

Step 8

Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the melted dill butter over the top of the fillets.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a side of your favorite vegetables or rice.
