  • 4 x john dory fillets scaled (each about 225g)
  • 1 x salt and freshly grnd block pepper
  • 4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 x glasses dry white wine marinade:
  • 1 x good handful of your favourite black olives stoned
  • 1 x clove of garlic peeled and finely minced
  • 1/2 sm dry red chilli
  • 1 x good handful of flesh basil or possibly marjoram or possibly both picked and roughly minced
  • 3 Tbsp. your best extra virgin extra virgin olive oil
  • 20 x cherry tomatoes halved or possibly quartered 1 lemon
  • 1 x salt and freshly grnd black pepper

Directions

  1. First make the marinade for the tomatoes.
  2. Put the olives into a bowl with the garlic chilli herbs and oil.
  3. Add in the cherry tomatoes.
  4. I like to leave the marinade for about 1/2 hour before I season it as the juice from the tomatoes helps to bring out the excess salt in the olives.
  5. Add in the lemon juice and seasoning to taste.
  6. This marinade keeps for about a day. You can add in sun dry tomatoes to intensify the tomato flavour.
  7. Take a piece of kitchen foil approximately 400mm in length.
  8. Place a quarter of the marinated ingredients in the centre of the right hand half with one of your seasoned john dory fillets on top.
  9. Fold over the left hand half and seal two sides by folding over tightly to gently hug the fish.
  10. Add in 1 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil and a quarter of the white wine and seat up the remaining side.
  11. Repeat the process for the remaining 3 fillets.
  12. Bake in the oven at its highest temperature for approximately 10 min.
  13. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 3 to 4 min without opening the bag.
  14. To serve place an unopened bag on each plate and let your guests open them up and remove the contents themselves.
  15. You can buy John Dory in supermarkets and fishmongers pretty much all year round. I think it's a really wicked fish; when raw the flesh is dense and waxy and when cooked it feels meaty. Its a great carrier of flavours so you can pretty much cook it in any way and with anything you tike.
  16. This is a realty nice way to cook John Dory it's so Mediterranean and makes you feel as if you are eating abroad. And it tastes superb. The secret is to get the freshest John Dory and the best black olives you can find.
  17. Serves 4
