Wipe out the skillet and repeat with another 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining oil and fish. Wipe out the skillet. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; season with salt. Spoon the sauce over the fish, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Rate it Print
