Ingredients
- For One Portion
- 1 whole fresh flounder or sole
- 1 chilli, de-seeded (optional) cut thinly
- 1 clove garlic, sliced thinly
- 1 lemon
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, parsley or coriander
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Good quality oil
WHOLE GRILLED FLOUNDER OR SOLE
Method
- Preheat the grill on your oven to hot and place the oven rack about two down (allowing enough room to fit fish)
- Wash the fish under cold water and pat dry
- Using a sharp knife on the dark coloured skin, slash the skin 2-3 times across the fish and then cut another 2-3 times in the other direction
- Lightly drizzle enough oil to coat both sides of the fish
- Place the fish cut side up on a baking tray
- Sprinkle with a little chopped chilli, garlic slivers, and a little of the chopped herbs
- Season well with salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice and place under the hot grill until the skin begins to bubble and the flesh turns from an opaque white to a solid white (about 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish)
- Remove from the oven, using a fish slice carefully transfer the whole fish to your serving plate and drizzle over any juices
- Serve with more fresh lemon and crunchy salad
