- Lower the heat under the skillet and swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, but not foaming, add the juice of the half lemon and the fresh parley. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat. Spoon the sauce over the fillets and serve the lemon wedge along side the fish.
