  • fresh lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

  3. Sprinkle with tarragon or parsley and press lightly into the flesh to help it stick.
  4. Melt the butter in a pan over medium high heat.
  5. Place the fillets seasoned side down in the pan, tilting the pan to make sure the butter surrounds the fillets, and cook for about 3 minutes.
