A delightful recipe for grilled fish topped with a flavorful lemon herb butter, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, chopped dill, and cayenne pepper until well mixed.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Use a grill brush to clean the grates before oiling for better results.
Season the fish fillets with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Pat the fish dry with a paper towel before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid flipping the fish too often to prevent it from breaking apart.
Transfer the grilled fish to a serving plate and top each fillet with a generous dollop of the prepared lemon herb butter.
Let the butter melt slightly over the warm fish for enhanced flavor.
