Ingredients
- 1,2kg fresh yellowtailbutterflied and cleaned by fishmonger
- 2 lemons
- 1cup buttersoftened
- salt and black pepperto season
- handful parsleyfinely chopped
- handful chiveschopped fine
- handful dillchopped fine
- foil
Instructions
- Open the butterflied fish and rest it skin down on the foil. Add the juice of one lemon to the melted butter.
- Season with salt and black pepper and brush half the lemon butter over the fish.
- Arrange the fish on a roster/grid – it’s just so much easier to handle on a hot braai.
- Cook on a hot grill (skin down) for about 10 minutes until the fish is hot right through. By now you can test if the fish is done by gently lifting the flesh with a fork. If it flakes – it’s done.
- Add the chopped herbs to the remaining butter and brush over the hot fish, drizzle with more fresh lemon juice from the other lemon, season, remove from heat and serve with your choice of sides.
