1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rinse the fish, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Put in a roasting tray, season, then dot with a third of the butter. Roast for 10-12 mins.
2. When the fish is almost ready, melt the remaining butter in a frying pan. Turn up the heat until it turns brown. Take off the heat, then add lemon juice, parsley and capers. Pour over the fish, then serve with green beans.

..it with halloumi

Griddled halloumi with herb & caper dressing. Heat a griddle pan until really hot. Cut a 240g pack vegetarian halloumi cheese into 8 slices, then cook for 2-3 mins each side. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Pour in 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, juice of ½ a lemon and 2 tbsp capers, then warm through. Add 2 handfuls chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley and oregano, to the pan just before serving. Check the seasoning, then drizzle the dressing over the halloumi to serve.

'I normally don't cook trout, but the buttery trout with capers was great and the sauce had just enough zing. This simple dish will definitely be added to our midweek menu.'

  We all love this, incredibly quick and simple but tastes gorgeous. I've tried it with salmon and cod too, great with both.

  So quick, so delicious. Takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, but looks like restaurant food. We served it with asparagus and spring greens.

  this is pretty nice, but couldn't help thinking that white fish like cod or hake would have been nicer with the capers. might try that! I fried the fish in the pan before adding the capers and other ingredients, to save washing up!
