Whiting with caper butter

Whiting is an incredibly underrated fish. Its flesh is soft, it has lovely small flakes and a very delicate flavour. Coated in breadcrumbs, fried and even with tartare sauce it can be a delight as can simply grilling a few fillets with butter and capers as in this recipe.

You will need – Serves 2

350 g whiting fillet 

2 tbsp capers

Zest of a lemon 

100 g soft butter

1 tbsp of finely chopped parsley

sea salt

To Make

Pre heat the grill to maximum.  

In a food processor simply blitz the capers, lemon zest and parsley with the butter.  Brush the fillets with this mixture and grill for 4-5 minutes.  Season to taste.  Serve with a simple green or tomato salad.
