Fish with lemon butter sauce is a combo made in heaven. One can't go wrong with the ultimate combination of fish and lemon. This grilled lemon butter fish is an awesome simple recepi which, even a bachelor could prepare them wonderfully at home. This healthy dish can be prepared in jiffy with very limited ingredients we can get in our kitchen. The fish was grilled to perfection which retains its juiciness and the lemon butter sauce has the right flavour and texture to compliment the fish. Serve with steamed vegetables or green salad. I served mine with steamed broccoli and has a hearty weekday dinner.
