Let's Cook!
Step 1
Pat the John Dory fillets dry with kitchen paper. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the fillets skin-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Carefully turn the fillets and cook for another 2 minutes, until just cooked through.
Step 3
While the fish cooks, melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley.
Step 4
Place the fish on warm plates and drizzle over the herb butter. Serve immediately with steamed vegetables, new potatoes, or a simple green salad.
