Black Sole on the bone...

What a treat for lunch today! My beloved arrived home with a very size-able Black Sole... One of the perks of living by the sea!
I think such a tasty fish needs only something simple to go with it. I made some rice & a quick veggie stir fry.


Skinning the fish is hard going & something I am yet to master. Probably because I always get T to do that lovely job for me :)


Once skinned & halved (it was too big to fit in the pan whole....I hope I don't sound like I'm boasting), I seasoned it either side with salt & pepper. Next, I heated a stainless steel pan and then added a tablespoon (approx) of vegetable oil. I waited until it got really, really hot and then added the Black Sole. I cooked it either side for approx 2 minutes to seal and brown it. Then I put it on a baking tray, put a little knob of butter on each piece of fish, and put it in a hot oven, of about 180 degrees Celsius, for about 10 minutes. The fish is done when it comes away from the bone easily. 


Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Again, excuse the presentation... it will get better I promise ;)
