Method (preview)

1. 1

   Shallow glass bowl. Pour over lemon juice and just enough water to cover. Marinate 20 minutes in fridge while you prepare the sauce.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a small non-reactive pan (enamel/stainless).

3. 3

   Whisk in the remaining ingredients until smooth.

4. 4

   Keep warm so it doesn't solidify, but don't let it come to a boil or burn.

5. 5

   Preheat the broiler and grease the broiling pan.

6. 6

   Put fish/chicken on pan.

7. 7

   Spoon about 1/2 sauce over fish/chicken.

8. 8

   Broil fish 4-6 minutes about 3 or 4 inches from the heat - closer and the sauce will burn; chicken takes 7-8 minutes per side depending on how thick the pieces are.

9. 9

   Turn and repeat.

10. 10

    Remove to serving platter. (If you doubled the sauce recipe, pour the rest over.) Garnish with parsley, lemon slices and a dusting of paprika.
