Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and bring some water to the boil in a separate pan.

2. Score the fish skin on the fillets 3 or 4 times and season with a little salt. Put them in the frying pan skin-side down and cook for 6-8 minutes turning once. Halfway through the cooking time add a knob of butter and the chopped tomato and basil.

3. Add the samphire to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Drain.

4. When the fish is cooked, remove it from the pan and add a splash of water to create a sauce. Add the dandelion and another small knob of butter and lightly cook until all the butter has melted

5. Spread the samphire out onto a serving plate creating a bed for the fish. Sit a fillet of John Dory and skin-side up on top. Finish with the tomato and dandelion sauce.
