Ingredients

  • 4 large plaice fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small aubergine, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato puree
  • 50g fresh white breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 6-8 basil leaves
  • 4 bunches cherry tomatoes on the vine
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Step 1

Baked plaice step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan oven 160°C/gas mark 4. Rinse the plaice fillets and lay them on a work surface, skin side up. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onion and aubergine gently for about 5-8 minutes, until very soft.

Step 2

Baked plaice step 2

Add the tomatoes and tomato puree. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Baked plaice step 3

Add the breadcrumbs and beaten egg white into the aubergine mixture, tear in the basil leaves, then stir to bind together.

Step 4

Baked plaice step 4

Share the stuffing between the fish, placing the mixture at the wide end of the fillets, then roll them up.

Step 5

Baked plaice step 5

Arrange the fish in a baking dish, tucking the ends underneath. Place the cherry tomato bunches on top, then bake for 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked (the flesh should be opaque and will flake when tested with a fork). Serve with fresh vegetables.

Cook's tip:

Baked plaice tip

Use sole fillets instead of plaice for a change - though you may need 8 small ones in total.
