Ingredients

• 4 pieces lemon sole fillets
• 2 pieces lemongrass stalks
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 pieces freshly sliced lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grilling pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Prepare the lemongrass butter by trimming the tough outer layers of the lemongrass stalks. Finely chop the soft core.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add the chopped lemongrass, minced garlic cloves, and lemon zest. Stir for 2 minutes to infuse the butter with flavor.

Step 4

Remove the infused butter from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside to keep warm.

Step 5

Pat the lemon sole fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Place the fish on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the grilled lemon sole from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

Brush the warm lemongrass butter generously over the fillets. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor boost.

Step 9

Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
