Cooking Instructions and Tips

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut lengthways into large wedges. Halve and peel the red onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges.

Pop the potatoes, pepper and onion onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, put the lemon & herb seasoning, breadcrumbs and olive oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount) into a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.

Pat the basa fillets with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture. Lay the basa onto a lined baking tray.

Spread the mayonnaise over the top of the fish and top with the breadcrumb mixture. Press it down with a spoon. Set aside. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.

In a small bowl, add the pesto and the olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

When the vegetables are halfway through cooking, bake the fish on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
