Step 1

To make the tartare sauce, heat half the butter in a small pan and cook the shallots until softened.

Dust the plaice in the seasoned flour and shake off any excess.

Heat a knob of butter and a splash of oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the plaice on a medium heat for 3 minutes or until really golden, then flip and cook for 1 minute.

Wilt the spinach with another knob of butter and some seasoning in a small pan.
Step 6

Reheat the sauce then stir in the parsley. Divide the spinach between plates, top with the plaice and spoon over the sauce.
