Classification: Phase 1 Semi Restricted, GF, LF 

4 serves

Ingredients

  •  4 fillets firm white fish, skin on (eg. Barramundi, snapper, cod, etc)
  • 4 tbs ghee
  • 2 tbs capers
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Method

Lightly salt the skin side of the fish fillets and set aside for 10 minutes.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.  Melt the ghee. Once the pan has returned to heat, place the fish in the pan, skin side down.

Cook for a few minutes and then flip and cook on the other side.

When the fish is nearly cooked through, add the capers, lemon juice and zest. If the pan is getting dry, add some extra ghee.  The sauce will bubble when the lemon juice is added.  Allow the sauce to reduce slightly then remove from the heat.  Taste the sauce and season with extra salt and pepper if required.

Serve the fish with the sauce drizzled over it, with lemon wedges to the size.

Goes great with lemon roasted fennel.
