Method

Score the fish with a sharp knife and marinate in lemon juice for 15 minutes.

Drain the fish, reserving the lemon juice, and pat dry with kitchen towels.

Melt 75g of butter in a large frying pan over gentle heat.

Cook the fish in the butter for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Increase the heat and pour in the reserved lemon juice to bubble and evaporate slightly.

Add the remaining 35g of butter to the pan to thicken the sauce.

Serve the fish immediately with the lemon butter sauce.
