Grilled Lemon Whiting with Crushed Peas

1 July 2008

(serves 4)
A quick dish that shouldn’t tax the cook. Start the peas first, as the fish should take less than a minute to cook on each side.

300g peas, frozen is just fine
40g butter
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
4 large whiting fillets
flour for dusting (optional)
butter for frying
fresh lemon for squeezing

Simmer peas until tender and mash gently with the butter, some salt, pepper and the lemon zest. Season the whiting, flour lightly, and fry in hot butter until just changed colour inside. Lay fish over the peas, reheat the whiting pan (add a little more butter if dry) until the butter goes a nut-brown colour. Squeeze in some lemon and tip this over the fish and peas.
