Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as halibut, cod, or salmon)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh lemon juice, then taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

To serve, plate the grilled fish fillets and generously drizzle the garlic white wine and butter sauce over the top.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
