Tips

If you’ve got a hungry household to feed then you could serve this dish alongside our baked potatoes.
This sauce is really delicious with a dash of white wine if you’ve got any on hand. We recommend using ¼ cup wine and ¼ cup stock.
Coating the fish fillets in flour creates a light, crispy and golden crust, but make sure to shake off any excess flour to avoid an unpleasant texture and burning in the pan.
Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook the fish in batches if your pan isn't big enough.

INGREDIENTS Ingredients

1 red onion (finely diced)
1 large lemon (juice and zest)
¼ cup raisins (finely chopped)
3 Tbsp capers
½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
600g white fish (we used tarakihi)
¼ cup flour
2 small heads broccoli (cut into small florets)
¼ cup roasted almonds (roughly chopped)
½ cup parsley (roughly chopped)
Butter
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil and 1 Tbsp of butter in a small pan over a medium heat, add the red onion and cook for 5 minutes until nice and soft. Add the lemon juice and zest, stock, raisins, capers and garlic; cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the stock has reduced and a beautiful sauce has formed.
While the sauce is reducing add the flour to a large plate and season generously with salt and pepper. Dust each fish fillet in the flour mix, then shake gently to remove any excess flour.
Add some olive and butter to a large pan over medium head. Add the fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on the size of the fillets).
While the fish is cooking, steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through but still has a nice crunch to it.
Once everything is ready, add the steamed broccoli across four plates. Top with the fish fillets and spoon over the sauce. Finally scatter over some almonds and parsley.
