🐟🧈 BUTTER-CRUSTED RED EMPEROR 🧈🐟

Golden, crunchy, buttery crust over tender, flaky Red Emperor — an easy dinner that looks seriously impressive! 🤤

🛒 INGREDIENTS

FISH
4 × 150–200g Red Emperor fillets, skinless & pin-boned
1 punnet cherry tomatoes
¼ cup white wine
Zest of 1 lemon
1 lemon, cut into wedges

BUTTER CRUST
150g softened butter
½ tsp crushed coriander seeds
1 French shallot, finely chopped
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
60g panko breadcrumbs
3 sprigs parsley, finely chopped
Salt & pepper

👨‍🍳 METHOD

1️⃣ Make the crust
Mix all butter-crust ingredients together. Place between two sheets of baking paper and flatten to 1cm thick. Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.

2️⃣ Prep the fish
Preheat oven to 220°C. Cut pieces of the chilled butter crust to fit each fish fillet.

3️⃣ Roast
Pour wine into a large oven-safe pan. Add fish and cherry tomatoes, then place the butter crust on top. Roast on the top shelf for 10–15 minutes, until golden and the fish is cooked through.

4️⃣ Make the sauce
Transfer fish to plates. Return the pan to the stovetop, add a squeeze of lemon and bring the juices to the boil.

5️⃣ SERVE & ENJOY! 🍋
Spoon over the buttery pan sauce and serve with waxy potatoes and lemon wedges.

✨ Crispy. Buttery. Fresh. Delicious.
