Instructions

Chip, Chip, Hooray
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the butter (see pantry for amount) from your fridge to allow it to come up to room temperature.

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips 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, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Prep Time
2

Meanwhile, trim the green beans.

Pop half the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it.

Peel and grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press) and set aside for now. 

Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). 

Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper. Lay the basa on a medium lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle over the lemon & herb  seasoning. Add the garlic parcel to the tray.

Bake the Basa
3

When the chips are halfway through baking, sprinkle over the hard Italian style cheese. Toss to coat, then return to the oven to bake for the remaining time, 12-15 mins.

Pop the basa onto the middle shelf of your oven and bake until cooked, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

Bring on the Veg
4

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

Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.

Stir in the reserved grated garlic, turn down the heat down and cook for 1 min.

Add the samphire and a splash of water then immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins.

Mix the Tarragon Butter
5

While the veg cooks, in a small bowl, combine the tarragon and softened butter. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.

When the veg is ready, remove from the heat. Season with pepper (don't add salt - the samphire is salty enough!).

Cover until ready to serve.

Finish and Serve
6

Once ready, remove the garlic from the foil parcel. Allow it to cool, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork. Stir it into the tarragon butter. 

Transfer the basa fillets to your plates. Spoon the tarragon-garlic butter over the fish and allow it to melt.

Serve the fish with the cheesy chips and veg alongside. 

Enjoy!
