This is a versatile sauce that can be used time and time again, it can be a delicious finishing touch for simple baked or grilled fish, and it’s also delicious with prawns and chicken. The haddock is coated in a delicious splice blend then fried, the lemon-caper sauce is cooked in the same pan as the fish so the sauce can be spooned over the fish to enhance flavour. Served with Risoni pasta, a form of short-cut pasta, shaped like a large grain of rice.
