Ingredients for Spiny Dogfish with Lemon Cream
I used fresh spiny dogfish, had the skin removed and cut into slices by my fishmonger.
- 8 Slices of spiny dogfish
- 1 lemon
- to taste parsley
- to taste salt
- Rice flour (or your preferred choice)
Steps for Spiny Dogfish with Lemon Cream
Wash the slices of spiny dogfish under running water. Gently pat them dry with paper towels, then coat them in rice flour so they are well floured on all sides.
The First Sear: In a pan, heat some extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the fish slices and cook them for about one minute per side on high heat.
Create the Cream: Now add the lemon juice and half a small glass of water. Salt, cover with a lid, and lower the heat.
Let it cook for about 15 minutes on low heat, remembering to turn the slices halfway through cooking. The cooking base will thicken and form that delicious cream.
The fish is tender and the cream that formed in the pan is a real touch of magic.
It’s the perfect dish for a light yet flavorful dinner.
Serve it hot and enjoy the freshness of the lemon!
