Ingredients
- 2 skinless John Dory fillets
- sea salt
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 200 g cauliflower florets
- 100 g baby capers
- 1 medium bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped
- 1 lemon, segmented (flesh only) and sliced into small pieces
- 50 g pangrattato (See Note)
Instructions
- Bring a wok or large saucepan of water to the boil. Season the John Dory fillets with salt on both sides and drizzle with olive oil. Place the fillets on a small plate and place into a large bamboo steamer.
- When the water begins to simmer, place the steamer basket on top, cover and steam for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium frying pan and cook until it reaches a beurre noisette (browned butter).
- In a separate large frying pan, cook the cauliflower florets until softened. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the browned butter over the cauliflower florets and toss lightly to combine.
- Once the cauliflower florets have browned, add the capers, parsley and lemon segments to the pan, toss to combine.
- To serve, place the steamed John Dory fillet on your serving plate and generously spoon over the cauliflower, browned butter, capers, parsley and lemon from the pan. Finish with a sprinkling of pangrattato.
Note
• To make the pangrattato heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 50 g stale sourdough breadcrumbs and toast for 5 minutes, or until crisp (stirring regularly). Remove from the heat.
