Ingredients

Method

Heat the oven to 200 C (400 F) and lightly oil a baking dish.
Lay the lemon slices in the dish and set the dried fillets on top.
Mix the capers, oil, garlic and pepper and spoon over the fish.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes until opaque and flaking.
Add a pinch of salt only if needed, as capers are salty.
Scatter with parsley and serve.

Tips

Rinse capers if they are very salty. Check the thickest part: the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork, and you should follow your food-safety agency guidance on safe internal temperature.

Storage

Cool promptly, then refrigerate in a sealed container and eat within the period recommended by your local food-safety agency. Reheat gently until steaming hot, or serve cold in salads and sandwiches.
