    • 500g Jersey Royal new potatoes
    • 50g softened butter
    • A handful of flat-leaf parsley
    • 1 lemon
    • 2 shallots
    • 1 garlic clove
    • 100g baby leaf spinach

    Method

    • Butterfly the plaice by cutting down the backbone, open the fish like a book and cut it into a half widthwise.

    • oil the potatoes until just soft (about 10 minutes), drain and slice into even-sized pieces.

    • Heat the butter in a large frying pan and lightly fry the plaice fillets on both sides until crisp and golden. Place onto a warmed serving platter and keep warm.

    • Place the pan back onto the stove over medium heat.

    • Add the spinach, parsley, shallots and garlic to the pan and sauté until just wilted. Add the butter, juices from the pan and lemon juice and zest.

    • Spoon the mixture on top of fillets and boiled potatoes, serve and enjoy!
