Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

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.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Fill the incisions with slices of preserved lemon cut in half.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Tie up the fillets to hold the lemon slices in place inside the fish.

Heat the serving plates.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

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.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Then place these in the pan, floured side downwards.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

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.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

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.

Keeping: A few minutes, once cooked.
