Step by step recipe

• 1: Choose fairly thick fillets (1 cm / ½ inch minimum) and make three vertical incisions in the upper side.
  Salt and pepper the inside of these cuts.
• 2: Fill the incisions with slices of preserved lemon cut in half.
• 3: Tie up the fillets to hold the lemon slices in place inside the fish.
  Heat the serving plates.
• 4: Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a non-stick pan and heat over medium heat.
  Dip the uncut side of the fish in flour on a plate.
• 5: Then place these in the pan, floured side downwards.
• 6: Turn over after 3 or 4 minutes (allow for about 3 minutes cooking on each face).
  You can also use a thermometer, as explained on the page all about how to cook until just done.
• 7: Serve with the accompaniment of your choice (stir-fried green cabbage in this case) and undo the string only once the fish is in place on the serving plate.
