Cook Along
Directions
1.

First create the marinade. Add all the ingredients, apart from the olive oil, to a blender. After 20 seconds of blending, very slowly add olive oil until it creates a smooth green sauce (like the vid on this post). Set aside.

2.

Chop the new potatoes in half and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and let steam for 2 minutes. Add the samphire and a dollop of the marinade, mixing together until covered.

3.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Pat the John Dory dry and generously season with salt and pepper. Rub the remaining marinade over the John Dory and inside the cavity.

4.

Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Arrange the potatoes and samphire around the fish and roast for 25 minutes. Once cooked, rest for 5 minutes.

5.

Serve up plates of potatoes and the crispy samphire. Use a knife and fork to gently slide the white meat from the bones.
