Whole Brill

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Clean the whole brill and pat it dry. Season the fish with salt and drizzle with olive oil, making sure to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake the Fish

    Place the seasoned brill on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Make the XO Chilli Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chili flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the XO sauce and lime juice, mixing well. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the XO chilli butter generously over the top. Serve immediately.
