Description

This fresh dish is divinely flavoured and so quick to make!

Time

20 MIN

Serves

10

Ingredients

  • 4-6 x 300g whole snappers, scaled and cleaned
  • 2 lemons, halved
  • 100g butter, chopped
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • Rice Salad, to serve (see below)

Method


  1. Pat snappers dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slits on each side of the fish. Rub sea salt flakes over the fish and into the slits.
  2. Over high heat, heat enough vegetable oil in a large frying pan to just cover the base. Place lemons into frying pan to one side. Cook fish for 5 min on one side, then quickly turn and cook other side for 5 min or until just cooked through. Transfer fish and lemons to a plate and keep warm.
  3. Melt butter in a small frying pan over medium heat until foamy. Whisk in lemon juice and simmer for 1-2 min. Stir through parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with chargrilled lemon wedges, Rice Salad and a green salad.

RICE SALAD


  1. Combine 6 cups cold cooked white rice with 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 diced yellow capsicum, 1 punnet halved cherry tomato medley and 1/2 cup French dressing. Garnish with toasted almonds and torn parsley.
