Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil separated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt separated
- 16 oz. white fish filet or 4, 4 oz. fish filets, we use halibut
- 6 oz. salted butter softened
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic
Other Ingredients
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon flakey sea salt such as Maldon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 400ºF. Clean the grill grates or set a grill pan on the grill to heat up.
- Whisk 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and ½ teaspoon of salt together in a bowl.
- Place the fish filet in a baking dish and pour the lemon juice mixture over the fish. Brush the marinade evenly into the fish and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Use a hand mixer to whip the remaining salt with the butter, lemon zest, pepper, dill, and garlic until light and fluffy.
- Grease the grill grates or grill pan, and then transfer the fish to the pan skin side up. Grill for 2-4 minutes. Flip the fish and add 2-3 tablespoons of the butter mixture to the top of the fish. Grill for 2-4 more minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should be between 130ºF-135ºF. How long you grill the fish will vary depending on the thickness of the fish filet.
- Remove the fish from the grill and top it with flakey sea salt and fresh dill. Option to melt the remaining dill butter and use it as a dipping sauce for the fish.
Notes
- This recipe was tested with halibut and Mahi Mahi. Feel free to use tilapia, cod, sea bass, walleye, or red snapper.
- Every grill and every fish filet are different. We recommend closely monitoring the grill while you are grilling the fish. Fish is easily overcooked.
