Ingredients

Directions

1. Step 1Pre-heat broiler. In a glass baking dish add the lemon juice, chili flake, butter and olive oil. Place in oven for about one minute, just long enough to melt the butter and remove.
2. Step 2Season fish lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the melted butter-lemon mixture and place under broiler for 6 to 8 minutes. To serve place on a serving plate and spoon the sauce from the dish on top.
3. Step 3Note: Broilers that are under the oven can be too hot for this dish. Ideally you want the dish to broil at least ten to twelve inches below the fire. If your broiler is too close to the fish then use the same method except bake the fish in a 500 degree oven for a very similar effect.
