Ingredients

800 g fresh or frozen hake if using frozen, make sure to fully defrost and pat dry before use
½ cup gluten free fix batter mix you can use any seasoned flour of your choice
glug olive oil
2 Tbsp butter

For the sauce

2 Tbsp capers
4 Tbsp butter
1 finely sliced lemon
handful chopped parsley

Instructions

Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick pan. In the meantime, cut the fish into portions and dust each piece in the seasoned flour.
Fry the fish on both sides until just cooked and golden (about 2-3 minutes a side). Then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, while it's still warm, add the lemon slices and fry for a minute or two on each side before adding the capers and butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, remove the sauce from the eat, add the chopped parsley and spoon it over the cooked fish. Serve immediately.
