Broiled Halibut with Lemon Garlic Sauce

Halibut Marinade

• 4 fillets
• salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• Lemon Garlic Sauce (recipe below)
• lemon slices
• parsley leaves

Place fillets skin side down on greased baking pan or greased rack of broiler pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a small saucepan, combine butter, garlic, and herbs. Heat over low heat until butter is melted and garlic is softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon butter mixture over each fillet. If making ahead, cover the pan and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or until ready to cook.

Place the baking pan in an oven preheated to 425°F and bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness of the fish. The fish is done when it is opaque in color and has a flaky texture.

Serve with Lemon Garlic Sauce (recipe below) and garnish with parsley leaves and lemon slices, if desired.
