Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt on to boil for the potatoes.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.

Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

Boil the Potatoes
2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the potato chunks and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Meanwhile, pop the breadcrumbs, olive oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount), lemon & herb seasoning and half the garlic into a small bowl and mix together.

Ready, Steady, Bake!
3

Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper. Lay onto one side of a lined baking tray. 

Spoon the crumb evenly over the fish, pressing it down with the back of the spoon.

Add the Tenderstem® to the other side of the baking tray, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. 

Into the Oven
4

Pop the baking tray on the top shelf of your oven and cook until the fish is cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

When the fish and broccoli has around 5 mins of cooking time remaining, add the peas to the tray, drizzle with oil and return to the oven for the remaining time, 4-5 mins.

Make the Butter Sauce
5

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the shallot and stir-fry until softened, 3-4 mins. Stir in the remaining garlic and cook for 1 min more.

Add the cider vinegar and allow it to evaporate, 1-2 mins.

Pour in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and veg stock paste, then bring to the boil and simmer until reduced by half, 2-3 mins. Vigorously stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted, then take off the heat. Stir through the chives.

Finish and Serve
6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the crusted basa with the mash and roasted greens alongside, then spoon over the buttery sauce to finish.
