• Remove smooth dory fillets from packaging and pat dry with paper towel. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook fish in batches until just cooked through, 5-6 minutes each side. • Remove pan from heat, add the honey and gently turn to coat.

TIP: White fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white. TIP: Add extra oil between batches if needed so the fish doesn't stick to the pan.
