    John Dory with Saffron and Roasted Garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that packs a punch of flavour. This dish originates in Mediterranean cuisine, where the combination of saffron, garlic, and lemon is a classic pairing. The fish is first seasoned with salt, pepper, and saffron, then lightly pan-fried in olive oil and finished with a buttery lemon sauce. The roasted garlic adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavour to the dish, while the parsley adds a bright, herby finish. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.

    Ingredients

    • 2 John Dory fish fillets
    • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
    • 1 head of garlic, roasted
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 cup white wine
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • Lemon wedges for garnish

    Method

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
    • Place the garlic head on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and fragrant.
    • Once the garlic is finished roasting, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
    • Meanwhile, season the John Dory fillets with salt, pepper, and saffron.
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
    • While the fish is cooking, prepare the lemon sauce.
    • Combine the white wine, lemon juice, and butter in a small saucepan.
    • Simmer over low heat until the sauce is thick and creamy.
    • Once the sauce is ready, stir in the roasted garlic and chopped parsley.
    • To finish, spoon the sauce over the cooked fish and serve with lemon wedges.
