Baked plaice with bacon


INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp olive oil
4 back bacon rashers, chopped
3 spring onions, chopped
4 plaice fillets, about 175g (6oz) each
freshly ground black pepper
60g (2oz) butter
juice of 1⁄2 large lemon
1 tbsp chopped parsley

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Heat the oil in a roasting tin over medium heat, add the bacon and spring onions, and fry for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the plaice, skin-side down, baste with the oil, and season to taste with pepper.
Place the tin in the oven and bake the fish for 15 minutes, basting once or twice.
Transfer the cooked plaice to warmed serving plates. Drain the bacon and spring onions from the tin, and set aside.
Heat the butter in a small saucepan until golden brown, add the lemon juice, bacon, and onions, and stir in the parsley. Spoon over the plaice and serve at once.
