(recipe from a shop flyer)

Serves 4

 Ingredients:

• 4 whiting fillets, skinned and boned (mine had skin)
• ½ tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper
• a knob of butter

Tomato and red onion salad

• 200 gr tomatoes, roughly chopped
• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
• juice of half lemon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt and black pepper
• bunch o chives, thinly sliced 

Step One

 Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Season the fish and add to the pan, skin side up. Fry for 3-4 minutes then turn it over. Add a knob of butter to the pan and continue to cook the fish for another 3-4 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. As the butter melts spoon it over the fish.

Serve the fish warm.
