Instructions

  1. Step 1 Prepare the fish

    Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pat the fish dry, season with a little salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking tray.

  2. Step 2 Make the dill butter and bake fish

    Place the butter, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, dill, garlic and chili into a small saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Drizzle the dill sauce over the top of the fish. Place in the preheated oven and cook for around 7-8 minutes until cooked through.

  3. Step 3 Prepare the burnt chard

    Heat a griddle pan to a high heat. In a bowl, drizzle the chard stems and leaves with half the oil and toss to coat well. Cook the stems and leaves separately on the griddle, turning occasionally, until charred (4-5 minutes for stems, 2-3 minutes for leaves). When cool enough to handle, thinly slice the stems and coarsely chop the leaves and transfer to a bowl. Add the herbs and scallion, drizzle with a little olive oil and lemon juice, season with some sea salt and cracked black pepper and toss to combine.

  4. Step 4 Fry the dill, garnish fish and serve

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a small frying pan and fry the dill sprigs. Garnish with the dill sprigs and burnt chard and serve immediately.
