Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
2 shallots, finely chopped
15g butter
250g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
1 tbsp finely chopped thyme leaves
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
2 whole plaice (or 8 fillets)
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a shallow ovenproof dish.
2
Cook the shallots in the oil and butter for 2-3 minutes, until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, until they shrink and the juices start to run out. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the juices have evaporated - this will take about 6-8 minutes.
3
Tip into a bowl, add the thyme and parsley, then season. Leave to cool.
4
If you're using whole plaice, fillet the fish, then remove the skin. If using pre-filleted fish, just remove the skin.
5
Divide the stuffing into 8 portions. Put a portion on top of the skinned side of each fillet. Fold over twice and tie with string.
6
Put in the greased ovenproof dish and brush lightly with oil. Cook in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
