You can use any type of white fish for this dish. I love that it is so quick and simple and a great way to use other seasonal vegetables. You could toss through some zucchini as well for a little extra colour. The combination of capers and lemon is a natural choice for fresh fish. Serve this with warm crusty bread and green salad with lots of fresh tomatoes and avocado.
