Crispy Skin Dory with Caper Chimichurri
John dory is one of those fish that doesn’t need much to shine, especially when the skin is cooked until golden and crispy, then paired with a bold, zesty caper chimichurri.
This dish balances rich, flaky fish with the bright, briny intensity of fresh herbs, garlic and capers, creating a vibrant contrast that enhances rather than overpowers. It’s simple, quick to cook, and packed with flavour, meaning you have no excuse not to try it. Enjoy!
