Instructions

  1. • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
    Cut potato into wedges, then place on a lined
    oven tray.
    • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and
    toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then bake until
    tender, 20-25 minutes.
  2. • Meanwhile, reserve some pineapple juice
    (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) and
    drain pineapple slices (see ingredients).
    • Discard any liquid from smooth dory fillet
    packaging. Slice fish in half crossways to get
    1 piece per person.
    • In a medium bowl, combine fish, mild
    Caribbean jerk seasoning and a drizzle of olive
    oil. Gently toss to coat.
  3. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
    Cook pineapple slices until lightly charred,
    2-3 minutes each side.
    • Transfer to a plate.
  4. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with
    a generous drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot,
    cook fish in batches until just cooked through,
    5-6 minutes each side.
    • Remove pan from heat, add reserved pineapple
    juice and the butter, gently turning fish to coat.
    TIP: White fish is cooked through when the centre
    turns from translucent to white.
  5. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with

    juice and the butter, gently turning fish to coat.

    salad leaves.
    • Serve with potato wedges, any remaining mayo
    and salad. Enjoy!
