Flounder with Potatoes, Tomatoes, Olives & Capers


Description

With capers, olives and juicy tomatoes complementing the subtle taste of the flounder, this dish celebrates classic flavours of the Mediterranean. This delicious easy seafood recipe is a quick one-pot dinner with impressive results.

Ingredients

1 flounder, between 800–1000g
500g potatoes
8 plum tomatoes, halved
16 olives
20 capers, salted
Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp of parsley, chopped
Black pepper
Salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.

2. Carefully gut the flounder and remove the gills, leaving its shape and skeleton intact. Wash well and pat dry with kitchen paper.

3. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2cm slices. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the slices for a few minutes, then drain thoroughly and arrange across a baking tray. Place the fish on top of the potatoes and season well with salt.

4. Rinse the capers in a bowl of water to remove the residual salt, then add them to the baking tray along with the tomatoes, olives and parsley. Season with black pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil.

5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 min, until the fish is cooked through and the potatoes are beginning to turn golden.

6. Serve straight out the oven in the cooking pan.

Enjoy!
