Recipe Notes

Butter is a saturated fat, but in this recipe I used a small amount to really bring out the best in this dish. When buying butter, always choose reduced salt and only use butter occasionally. A reduced salt margarine is a healthier choice for an everyday spread. To increase carbohydrate and fibre, serve this yummy buttery fish with roasted Sebago potatoes.
