1. Get grilling: Preheat the grill to High. Lay the plaice fillets, skin-side down, on an oiled baking sheet, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil. Grill the fish for 2-3 minutes (no need to turn).
2. Make the vinaigrette: While the plaice is grilling, heat the remaining oil in a small frying pan. Add the garlic and leeks and fry over a gentle heat until soft and golden. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon, then take the pan off the heat. Remove the fish from under the grill and arrange on plates. Using a slotted spoon, top the fish with the garlic and leeks. Heat the vinaigrette for a further minute until piping hot, then pour it over the fish and finish with a good grinding of black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges and boiled new potatoes.

'The leeks and garlic were delicious. This dish is perfect for a quick healthy midweek supper, especially as we eat fresh fish once a week.'

  Quite tasty, but the leeks were a bit too lemony for my kids.

  This was absolutely divine! My other half adores Plaice, but I have always found it rather boring and bland fish, so I gave this recipe a shot for his sake, and my goodness, what a surprise! We BOTH fell for this one hook, line and sinker! Wonderful! Bravo, BBC Good Food! Thanks!

  Totally agree with Alycia! Not too keen on Plaice but I am now. Hubby loved it too. Will be making this for friends too as it looks impressive when served. Will be trying the stuffed Plaice with Almonds next.
