Main course for 2

Grilled lemon sole with lemons

 
 

Ingredients


1 lemon sole, 600-800g, gutted, but skin on

1 lemon, plus extra wedges to serve

A few knobs of unsalted butter

Sea salt

Chopped parsley to serve

 
 

Method


  • Pre-heat the grill to a maximum. Trim the fins and tail from the fish. Cut the lemon into slices about 5mm thick – to make a bed for the whole fish to lie on. Butter a grill tray and arrange the lemon slices on it, roughly in the shape of a fish.

  • Smear the butter all over the fish, season both sides with salt, and lay it, dark side up, on the lemon slices. Score the top a few times, up to 5mm deep, with a sharp knife

  • Slide the grill under the hot grill and cook for 10 minutes, until the skin is browned and the centre is cooked 

  • Baste the fish with the buttery, lemony juice a couple of times during cooking

  • Serve with crushed or mashed potato, and a salad
