This Keto Fish In Lemon Butter Sauce is outrageous, totally restaurant worthy. The Lemon Butter Sauce is made with butter and lemon  but it’s  not ‘just’ butter and lemon – it has the flavors that will surely take you for a yummiest ride. With the richness of butter, the tanginess of lemon and the goodness of protein boosted fish you’re surely in for a healthy yet delectable treat.

Few things to keep in mind

• Fish: I have used Basa fish fillet for this recipe. You can use any white fish fillet of your choice too. Make sure the fish is cleaned well and pat dried before you marinate it.
• Butter: Let the butter change color to a light brown before you add the shallots and garlic to it. This gives a nutty taste to the lemon butter sauce.
