Method

Serve the plaice on a bed of creamed cabbage and top with caper butter.

Combine cabbage ingredients in a pan and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until tender.

Remove from heat and stir in capers, parsley, and lemon juice.

Heat olive oil in a pan and fry fillets skin-side down for 4 minutes.

Season the plaice with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.

Melt butter and lemon zest in the same pan until it turns nut-brown.

Turn the fish and cook for 2 minutes until done, then set aside on a warm plate.
