- 1 whole John dory, medium sized
- 100g Butter, unsalted
- 1 lemon, ½ juiced and half for serving
- 1 Tbsp Capers
- ½ bunch parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Season fish with olive oil, salt and pepper. Then place into the oven at 180 degrees covered for 15 minutes. Remove the cover after this and bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Pick parsley leaves (not much stem) and then finely chop.
- In a low/medium heated pan add your butter and cook till golden and foamy. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Once the butter begins to turn colour, add lemon juice and capers. The sauce will spit once juice is added.
- Add parsley and switch off heat. The residual heat will break down the capers, then season to taste.
- Place fish on a platter, pour butter sauce over the fish. Then serve with the other half of the lemon.
