Plaice with lemon dill butter

With the classic combination of fresh fish, delicate herbs and a burst of lemon, this recipe puts dinner firmly in its plaice!  Serve with seasonal Jersey Royal potatoes, drenched in butter

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 Plaice fillets
  • Small handful of panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 – 3 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil
  • 4 lemon slices
  • Generous knob of butter
  • Juice of half a lemon

METHOD:

Preheat your grill to medium heat.  Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, ½ tsp fresh dill, paprika and salt.

In a well-greased grill pan, lay your plaice fille skin side down, and sprinkle over the breadcrumb mixture.  Drizzle the fish with a little olive oil and add the 4 slices of lemon.  Grill for 10 minutes or until the thickest part of the fish is cooked through.

Whilst the fish is cooking, heat up the butter in a saucepan until it melts.  Then add the lemon juice and the remaining dill and stir well.

Once cooked, plate up the fish and pour over the lemon and dill butter.

Serve with new potatoes and seasonal greens

Plaice in a hot vinaigrette

Ingredients:

  • 4 large plaice fillets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 leeks, washed trimmed and shredded into very thin strips
  • 1 lemon plus wedges to serve

Method

Pre-heat the grill to high.  Lay the plaice fillets, skinside down on an oiled baking sheet, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil.  Grill the fish for 2-3 minutes.

To make the vinaigrette.  While the plaice is grilling, heat the remaining oil in a small frying.  Add the garlic and leeks and fry over a gentle heat until soft and golden.  Squeeze in the juice from the lemon, then take the pann off the heat.  Remove the fish from under the grill and arrange on plates.  Using a slotted spoon, top the fish with the garlic and leeks.  Heat the vinaigrette for a further minute until piping hot then pour it over the fish and finish with black pepper.  Serve with lemon wedges and boiled new potatoes.
