John Dory with Lemon Caper Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus 2-3 extra to serve
- 2 180g John Dory fillets with skin on
- 2 teaspoons capers in brine
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- freshly ground black pepper
- To serve:
- handful per serve watercress or other salad greens
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Grease an oven-proof dish or skillet with olive oil and place fish, skin side down, in the dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes (you will need to a little longer for thicker fillets). Test your fish by pushing a skewer into the flesh – if there is resistance, it will need to cook a little longer. If the skewer pushes in and comes out easily it means the fish is flaky and ready.
- Remove from oven and transfer to serving plates. Add extra olive oil, lemon juice and capers to the pan and mix well. Drizzle over the fish and season with pepper.
- Serve with a mixed green salad or watercress.
