  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat your butter in a sauté pan just large enough to fit your fish over medium high heat.  Add your minced garlic and cook for a minute, making sure it doesn't burn.  Sprinkle your fish with sea salt and add it to the pan.  Cook about 4 minutes per side (more for a larger fillet) or until done.  At then end of cooking add a squeeze of lemon.
