SKATE IN BUTTER SAUCE

Preparation Method :

• Place the skate in one layer in a large, deep pan. Completely cover with water and add the onion, parsley stalks, salt and peppercorns.
• Bring gently to the boil with pan uncovered. Allow to simmer 20 minutes, or until the skate is done.
• Lift the fish out onto a serving dish and remove the skin and any large pieces of bone. Take care not to break up the fish.
• Place the butter in a small pan and cook over high heat until it begins to brown. Add the capers and immediately remove the butter from the heat.
• Add the vinegar, which will cause the butter to bubble. Add parsley, if using, and pour immediately over the fish to serve.
