Note from author: A simple, sunny dish with the flavors of the south
of France. The seasoned butter is our bonus, since the fish is
already delicious after its quick marinating in a rosemary
vinaigrette. Add a sliced tomato salad and buttered orzo (rice-shaped
pasta) for a satisfying meal. Finish with freshing lemon sorbet.
