Stingray with Capre butter and fresh herbs – Page 2

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Stingray

Pat the stingray wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Preheat a pan or grill over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Cook the Stingray

Add a little olive oil to the pan and sear the stingray for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the flesh easily pulls apart.
Remove from the pan and set aside while you prepare the sauce.

Step 3: Make the Caper Butter Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter over low heat.
Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in capers, lemon juice, zest, and white wine. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley and dill.

Step 4: Assemble & Serve

Drizzle the caper butter sauce over the cooked stingray wings.
Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon.
Serve with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
Serve with buttery mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Add a side of grilled asparagus or sautéed spinach for a complete meal.
