There's plenty of fish in the sea, just like basa! Basa is a white, flaky fish with a mild flavour that makes it a great partner to punchy sauces like chilli oil.

2 tbsp
Olive Oil for the Drizzle
1 tbsp
Honey

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
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 middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a small bowl, combine the chilli flakes and garlic.
Heat the olive oil for the drizzle (see pantry for amount) in a large frying pan on high heat. Heat until just hot, 1-2 mins.
Carefully pour the oil over the chilli flakes and garlic, then stir to combine. Stir in the honey (see pantry for amount) and set aside to infuse.

Next, trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
In a large bowl, combine the mayo, sambal paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and rice vinegar.
Add the sliced carrot and cabbage mix, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.

Meanwhile, pat the basa dry with kitchen paper. Season with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on a lined baking tray.
When the chips have 5 mins remaining, bake the fish on the middle shelf until cooked, 10-12 mins.
IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

When everything's ready, add the baby gem to the sambal slaw. Toss to coat.

Share the basa between your plates.
Spoon over the hot honey chilli oil (add less if you'd prefer things milder).
Serve the chips and sambal slaw alongside.
