This is a lovely (and simple) garlic and herb butter that’s coated right onto the fish fillet!
You could use this same butter sauce for any type of non-breaded fish fillet and it would be lovely – salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi, or whatever your fave is!
We are particularly fond of salmon and cod at my house – because they are the most affordable options, as they are easy to cook and “flavor up.”
Finally…don’t skimp on the garlic!
Enjoy!
