Ray Wings with buttery parsley & Caper Dressing recipeWhile hunting around the discounts at the local supermarket we found Ray Wings at less than £1 each. Sue isn't keen on fish generally, but this was a meaty fish a little like Tuna.
 
Ingredients:-
 
1 Ray Wing per person 
Plain flour (We used Gluten free but there is no difference as far as this recipe goes)
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Salt
Chilli Flakes
Onion Salt
Crushed fresh Garlic
50g of Butter
2 tbsp Capers
Soy Sauce
Chopped Parsley
1 Lemon, ½ Juiced and ½ cut into wedges
 
Method:-
 
(1) Marinated the Ray Wings in Soy Sauce and crushed Garlic.
(2) Season the flour with the Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt, Onion Salt and Chilli flakes.
(3) Dredge the fish in the flour mixture until completely coated.
(4) Place a frying pan on a high heat and add ½ of the butter.
(5) Let sizzle and add the fish. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes flipping until golden brown on both sides.
(6) Keep warm under the grill.
(7) Place the pan back on the heat and add the remaining butter.
(8) Add the Capers and then the Parsley. Season with Salt.
(9) Squeeze the ½ lemon juice and stir.
(10) Spoon over the fish.
 
We served ours with Peas and New Potatoes and dressed the fish with the remaining Lemon wedges.
