Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Kingklip fillets
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 190.6-204.4°C (190-200°C). Brush both sides of the 2 pieces of Kingklip fillets evenly with the 1 tbsp of olive oil, then season with the 1/4 tsp of salt and the 1/8 tsp of black pepper.
  2. 2Carefully place the prepared Kingklip fillets directly onto the preheated grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, for a total cooking time of 10-14 minutes, until the Kingklip is opaque throughout, flakes easily when tested with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C at its thickest part.
  3. 3While the Kingklip fillets are grilling, melt the 4 tbsp of butter in a small saucepan over low heat on your stovetop. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. 4Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the 2 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley until well combined.
  5. 5Once cooked, carefully transfer the Kingklip fillets to serving plates. Immediately pour the lemon-garlic butter sauce evenly over the 2 grilled Kingklip fillets and serve.
