• Heat the butter in a small skillet and stir in the salt, pepper, paprika and lemon juice. Arrange the fish on a greased rack in a broiler pan (thin fillets may be placed in the pan without the rack). Brush the fillets with the seasoned butter.
• Broil 4-5 inches from the source of heat until the fish flakes with a fork, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish fillets. Thick fillets should be turned about halfway through the cooking period.
• Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon or lime wedges.

BROILED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Finely zest the limes into a medium bowl. Remove the peel and pith from each lime. Discard the peel and pith, and cut the flesh into rounds. Chop into small pieces and add to the bowl. Set aside, along with 1 tablespoon vegetable or grapeseed oil and the chopped herbs. (You'll add them right before serving.)
• Move the broiler rack to less than 6 inches from the flame or coil, and heat broiler to high. Place the fish fillets in a flat, ovenproof dish. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, salt, paprika and coriander in a small bowl. Drizzle all over the fish, rubbing to make sure all surfaces are coated. Broil until fish is crispy golden brown around the edges and just cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes (do not overcook).
• Meanwhile, lay out the tortillas in an even layer (overlapping slightly) on a baking sheet. Remove from the fish from the oven, and immediately toast the tortillas under the broiler until golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Flip and toast 30 seconds to 1 minute more. (These are warm and pliable right out the oven, but crisp up as they cool. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep soft.)
• Toss together the lime zest, lime flesh, herbs and oil and season with salt. Break each fish fillet in half with a fork or spoon to make 8 portions, and fill each tortilla with fish and herb salad. Drizzle or serve with crema.
