Add the fish to the melted butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turn and cook the other side another 2 to 3 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when lightly pierced with a fork. Transfer fish to serving plates and cover with foil to keep warm.

- 5. Spoon sauce over each fillet. Garnish with lemon slice, and serve immediately.
