FOR THE LEMONGRASS BUTTER

1 For the Lemongrass Butter: Put everything into a processor and season with black pepper. Blend until smooth, spoon the mix into the centre of a large sheet of clingfilm, shape into a 4cm/1½" thick, wide roll and chill in the fridge or freezer until firm. When firm, preheat the grill to high.

2 Trim away the frills from either side of the fish, trim down the tail and snip off the fins. Brush on both sides with melted butter and season.

3 Depending on the size of your grill, cook one or two at a time dark-side up, on a buttered baking tray or rack of a grill pan for 4 ½-5 minutes.

Keep warm while you cook the rest. Unwrap the lemongrass butter and slice into thin rounds and serve on top of the fish.
