Place remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in pan and 1 tsp. flour, wine and lemon juice. Heat 1-2 minutes till thickened stirring occasionally. Stir parsley into butter sauce and serve over fish.
Notes
This can easily be made just for 2 with just half of the fish.
Unless you want a browned butter sauce (doesn't hurt the taste) watch that butter doesn't brown in the last steps.
