Ingredients
  

  • 4 Fillets of white fish I used Dorade (bream)
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 Ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 2 medium Courgettes
  • 1 Red onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 10 gr Butter
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 6 tbsp Flour plus a little extra for dusting the fish
  • Sea Salt
  • olive oil
  • Ground Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 140C so that you can keep the pancakes warm whilst you cook the fish.
  • Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper, lightly dust with flour and set aside.
  • Peel the tomatoes and remove the hard core.
  • Place in a blender with 2 tsps of olive oil, ½ tsp of sugar and salt and pepper and then blitz until smooth and pass through a fine sieve.
  • Grate the courgettes and the onion into a large bowl.
  • Lightly beat the eggs and stir into the courgettes and onions. Add the baking powder and 6 tbls of flour.
  • Mix thoroughly to form a thick batter.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt half the butter in a frying pan with ½ tbls of olive oil.
  • When the butter is foaming, drop in heaped tablespoons of the batter mixture and cook the pancakes on each side until golden brown (approx. 2 mins per side).
  • You will have to cook them in batches, but you can transfer them to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
  • When you have cooked all the pancakes, wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper.
  • Add the rest of the butter and ½ tbls of olive oil to the pan and, when the butter is foaming (but not burning), saute the fillets on both sides for 2 minutes.
  • Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fish in the pan. Serve immediately on warmed plates.
  • Serve the fillets on top of the courgette pancakes, with a little salad and drizzle the tomato coulis around the plate!
