Ingredients:

6 small whiting
30g butter, melted
parsley sprigs, to garnish
100g golden breadcrumbs
butter, for dotting
1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Clean and scale the whiting. Take a pair of sharp kitchen shears and snip the eyes out. Now form the fish into a ring by passing the tail through the eye sockets.

Brush each fish with butter and season liberally then sprinkle over the breadcrumbs. Arrange the fish in a well-greased baking tray and dot with butter. Season again then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for 30 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with lemon slices and accompanied by new potatoes and green peas.
