Lemon-Peppered Broiled Fish, Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

Hi everyone!

 Tomorrow we are having Lemon Peppered Broiled Fish. We recently discovered that our 6 year old loves fish and chips so I thought I would give regular white fish a try. On the side I'm going to serve Orzo with Parmesan and Basil. We'll also have green beans.

Lemon-Peppered Broiled Fish Katie (Katiedid) Serves 4.

1 lb any fresh fillets
1 T butter, melted
2 T lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp celery seed
1 T butter, melted
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
Fresh minced parsley


Combine butter with lemon pepper, thyme, paprika and celery seed; brush on fillets. Place on single layer on oiled grill rack or broiler pan. Grill or broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for about 10 minutes or until fish flakes with fork. Melt another tablespoon of butter and mix with lemon juice and spoon over fish; sprinkle with parsley.
