Perch with Lemon, Anchovies and Capers


Ingredients

2 large Nile perch fillets
avocado oil (or, extra virgin olive oil)
handful of rosemary leaves, crushed
2 large, unwaxed lemons, thinly sliced
2 tbsp capers
8 anchovy fillets
white pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 200° C/400° F.

Bruise the rosemary leaves with a mortar and pestle to bring out the flavour. Add 4 tablespoons avocado oil (or, extra virgin olive oil) and combine. Pat half of the flavoured oil around the perch fillets, season with white pepper, and place in an earthenware, or Pyrex, dish. Drape 4 anchovy fillets over each fish, and cover with several layers of thinly sliced lemon (1 lemon per fish fillet). Sprinkle the capers on top, drizzle with the remainder of the flavoured oil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to "rest" for 5 minutes. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the top, if desired, before serving with steamed greens or a crisp salad.
