Preparation

Step 1

Combine the butter and basil in a small bowl. Place fillets on a lightly greased broiler pan. Spread the fillets with half of the butter mixture. Broil 5- 8 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn and spread with remaining butter. Squeeze the lemon juice over fillets and broil another 4- 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
