Ingredients

  • 2 thin white fish fillets, about 5¼ oz each and ½ in thick, skin on or off
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp paprika

  3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Lay the fish in the pan and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the underside is golden and crisp.
  5. Turn carefully and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until just cooked through and flaking.
  6. Drain briefly on paper towel, scatter with parsley or dill and serve at once with lemon wedges.
