I love this incredibly simple way of cooking skate. As with any dish of so few ingredients, use the best you can - in this case, the freshest skate and first-rate olive oil and salt.

Ingredients

1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra
juice of half a lemon
2 x 250g portions of skate, without skin
salt

Method

Preheat oven to 200C.
In a bowl, mix together the oregano, chopped garlic, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Pour over the fish and marinate for 20 minutes before cooking.
Place each portion of skate on a large square of aluminium foil and season with salt. Lift sides of foil and pour over the rest of the marinade. Seal the parcels and place on an oven tray. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
To serve
Serve with some of the juices poured over the top and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
