Season with ground black pepper and a little salt, then drizzle over any remaining butter.
2. Step 2
  Cook for 15-20min or until the breadcrumbs begin to turn golden and crisp.
3. Step 3
  Meanwhile, beat together the remaining ingredients to make a garlicky dip. Check the seasoning, then serve immediately with the fish, the remains of the lemon and some new potatoes or the Paprika Potato Wedges.
