This is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy our locally-caught Plaice, and it’s a versatile recipe, too; it will work just as well with any flat white fish, and the quantities can be scaled up or down pretty easily. Best of all, it’s made with just one baking tray and one pan, so washing-up is kept to a minimum!
