Add Lemon and Herbs: Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), parsley, thyme, and oregano (if using). Cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to combine. If you want a thinner sauce, add the chicken broth or white wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Finish and Serve:
Return Fish: Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to reheat and absorb the flavors.
Garnish: Garnish with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
Serve:
Enjoy: Serve the fish with the garlic lemon butter herb sauce spooned over the top. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
Fish Freshness: Ensure your fish is fresh for the best flavor. Look for fillets with a clean smell and firm texture.
Sauce Variation: You can also add capers or a splash of cream to the sauce for a different twist.
Side Dishes: Consider pairing this dish with roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a simple green vegetable like asparagus or green beans.
This one-pan garlic lemon butter herb sauce recipe for trout or salmon is not only quick and easy but also bursting with fresh flavors that complement the fish beautifully. Enjoy your meal!
