Fish Fillet with Lemon Butter Sauce Recipe
I'm writing and sharing this recipe here because I need a way to remember this meal. You see, I cooked this a few days ago for the very first time. And, I wasn't really following a particular recipe. I basically read a half a dozen or so recipes for lemon butter sauce. And, I picked out different things from different places - and added my own twist to the whole thing. For whatever reason, it came out yummy. At least to me and my family anyway. 😉 So I know that I'll want to repeat this some time. Let me know if you try it out too.
