Instructions

Step 1

Put your fish fillets skin side down in a cold non-stick frying pan.

Step 2

Turn the heat on to high.

Step 3

Season the fish fillets with a tiny pinch of sea salt and a pinch of black pepper from a height.

Step 4

Let the fish cook for most of the time on the skin side – give it 4 or 5 minutes without touching it, until the skin is really golden and crispy, then use a fish slice to flip it over to cook for just 30 seconds on the other side.

Step 5

Add a good squeeze of lemon juice to the pan, avoiding the crispy skin, then turn the heat off and give the pan a shake.

Step 6

Delicious served with mashed potato and steamed seasonal veg.
