Butterfish are aptly named; they're smooth and buttery with fine flaky white flesh and have very little fat. They're easy to eat whole, since they have relatively few bones. If you can't find butterfish, use pompano or mackerel.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Eight 6- to 8-ounce whole butterfish, or pompano or mackerel
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parsley sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a stove-top griddle or outdoor grill with the rack set 1 inch above the coals. Allow the grill to get very hot.
  • Meanwhile, brush the butterfish with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the butterfish about 3 minutes per side, until the fish just begins to flake. Arrange 2 butterfish on each of 4 dinner plates, garnish with the parsley, and serve.

This recipe is a must-try for any seafood lover. The butterfish is cooked to perfection, and the lemon-herb butter sauce is out of this world. I served it with roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with the whole family.

This recipe is a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The butterfish was cooked perfectly, and the lemon-herb butter sauce was delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more seasoning to the fish before grilling.

I'm giving this recipe 3 stars. The butterfish was cooked well, but the lemon-herb butter sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I also found the recipe to be a bit too time-consuming.

This recipe was just okay. The fish was a bit dry, and the lemon-herb butter sauce was too lemony for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many ingredients and steps involved, and it took me longer than I expected to make. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth the extra effort.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe a different sauce. The fish itself was cooked well, but it lacked flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The butterfish was so tender and flavorful, and the lemon-herb butter sauce was out of this world. I'll definitely be making this again!
