Ground black pepper
4 medium cloves of garlic
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
€5 tbsp 00€ or plain flour, to coat the fish

1. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and then dip the skin side in flour and tap off the excess.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan until almost smoking hot and fry the fish skin-side down until golden brown, which should take 5 minutes. Flip and fry on the other side for a further 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the sliced garlic, chili and cherry tomatoes and fry for a couple of minutes, making sure that the garlic doesn't burn.
