Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

350g (12 1/2oz) baby potatoes, quartered
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/2 lime, zested and juiced
1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3-4 tbsp roughly chopped coriander
1½ tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp plain flour
1 x 265g (9 1/2oz) pack skinless and boneless basa fillets

Steps:

  • In a medium pan of salted, boiling water, cook the potatoes for 12 mins, or until tender.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the salsa: in a bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, lime zest and half the lime juice, the chilli, half the garlic, and the coriander. Season and add extra lime juice to taste, if you like.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Season the flour and use to coat the basa fillets, then add them to the pan. Fry for 30 secs over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high and fry for a further 2 mins each side, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Drain the potatoes. Return to the pan, along with the remaining olive oil and garlic. Lightly crush with a potato masher or a fork, then divide between 2 plates. Top with the fish and drizzle over the chilli and coriander salsa.

  • 16 minutes before the potatoes are cooked, put the basa fillets under the grill. Cook for 8 minutes on each side under a medium heat.
  • You can pot up the left over pesto and use at a later date.
  • Once the potatoes and fish have cooked plate up.
