Broiled Fish Fillet Recipe
This fish fillet recipe uses the broiler, an underused part of our ovens. It allows you to easily make a recipe that tastes like grilled fish, without the need for a barbecue or indoor grill.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, or a good quality vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets, see notes below
- chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven on the broil setting.
- Heat the butter in a small skillet and stir in the salt, pepper, paprika and lemon juice. Arrange the fish on a greased rack in a broiler pan (thin fillets may be placed in the pan without the rack). Brush the fillets with the seasoned butter.
- Broil 4-5 inches from the source of heat until the fish flakes with a fork, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish fillets. Thick fillets should be turned about halfway through the cooking period.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon or lime wedges.
