Ingredients:

  • 4 John Dory fillets
  • 50g butter, softened
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt, to season
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions:

  1. Combine the butter & paprika & set aside. Heat a large frying pan until very hot & add the olive oil. Season the fish well with salt & add the fillets to the pan, skin side down, pressing firmly with a fish press or the back of a spatula for a minute or so to stop the fillet curling.
