Grilled Dover sole with yuzu butter
A fish as fine as Dover sole deserves a very special dressing, and this bright, zingy yuzu butter adds richness and bags of citrus in equal measure. Keeping things simple with griddled samphire and asparagus as an accompaniment, this is a dish that's impressive and full of flavour, yet takes just minutes to prepare.
