Ingredients

Kippers
2 whole, cleaned and split
Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons
Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, chopped
Lemon
1, cut into wedges
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by rinsing the kippers under cold water to remove any excess brine, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it is bubbling and fragrant.
  3. Carefully add the kippers to the pan, skin side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the fish to crisp slightly.
  4. Gently flip the kippers and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.

  6. Serve the hot kippers garnished with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
