Adam Gray's simple recipe really lets the red mullet shine, with crispy fried skin and perfectly cooked, flaky flesh. A spinach and crushed new potato side is all that's needed, with a little added flavour from a Caesar dressing.

Begin this red mullet recipe by putting the new potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat a little and cook gently until tender, then drain and set aside until almost ready to serve
Make sure all the scales and pin-bones have been removed from the red mullet. Season the fillets and lightly dust the skin side with flour. Brush with the soft butter
Put a large non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat and add a little rapeseed oil
50ml of rapeseed oil

Lay the fish in the frying pan skin-side down and press down gently using a fish spatula
5
Get a saucepan of hot water ready to reheat the cooked potatoes. Put them into the hot water for 2 minutes then drain in a colander. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and crush with a fork
6
Slice the spring onions and add them to the potatoes along with the Caesar dressing. Mix thoroughly
To serve, put a medium-sized ring in the middle of a serving dish, then spoon in a quarter of the crushed new potatoes. Remove the ring and place some of the dressed spinach on top
10
Gently place one fillet of red mullet on top and drizzle the plate with some of the remaining rapeseed oil to garnish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve
Adam Gray pulls off classic British flavours with grace, intelligence and admirable lightness of touch.
