INGREDIENTS:
8 fillets of Dover sole (or any other firm-fleshed fish) oil for frying salt and freshly ground pepper
THE DRESSING: 1 teacup olive oil 2 tbsps white wine vinegar 2 bay leaves
finely shredded rind of 1 lemon 1 Spanish onion finely sliced into rings salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 tbsp freshly chopped chives, parsley or basil to garnish



1 Gently flatten the fish fillets with a wetted rolling pin to stop them curling up. Season lightly with salt and pepper on their insides and fold them over.
2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the fillets on both sides until they are just cooked. Arrange them, slightly over-lapping, in a long serving dish. Decorate with a spine of onion rings which have been dipped for a second into boiling water.
3 Make a dressing with ingredients listed and pour this over the fillets whilst they are still hot. Cool the fish and then chill well for 3 hours.
4 Just before serving, sprinkle with the chives, parsley or basil which have been tossed in olive oil to make them shine.
