Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but added some garlic powder, onion powder and paprika (for color) to the compound butter mixture. I also sprinkled some Panko crumbs mixed with a little parsley flakes on top of the butter/cheese mixture just prior to the final broiling. I cannot say how excellent this was.
