Instructions
- Mix the softened butter, 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley, the garlic, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.

- Serve with extra herb butter, chopped parsley and lemon slices.
Notes
This is a copycat, not the restaurant's recipe. The prep time includes chilling the butter. Not all of the herb butter is eaten with the fish, so the nutrition is an estimate on the high side.
