  2. Preheat oven 220c
  3. Melt 2 T (28 grams)butter in a baking dish in the oven. Remove and add the fish, coating it with the butter, and then add in the lemon juice. IMPORTANT-the dish should hold the fish tightly enough that it can be submerged in the sauce.

  5. Remove from oven; top with herb(s), cayenne, and cheese. Add 2 (28 grams) more of butter and bake an additional 10 minutes. Cheese should be crusted and the liquid simmering.
