Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the tarragon (stalks and all). Halve the salad potatoes widthways. Put the potatoes onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer, cut-side down. When the oven is hot, roast the potatoes on the top shelf, 20 mins.

Fry the Bacon
2

Meanwhile, pop the garlic in a small bowl with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then mix together and set aside. Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. Pop the Tenderstem® on a baking tray and drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. Once hot, lay in the bacon rashers and fry them until browned and crispy, 2-3 mins each side. Remove to a plate covered in kitchen paper and set aside. Keep the pan - you'll use it later.

Smash the Potatoes
3

When the potatoes have cooked for 20 mins, remove them from the oven. Use the bottom of a bowl or pan to lightly crush each potato half. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with the garlic oil and return to the top shelf until crispy and golden, 10-15 mins. Pop the broccoli onto the middle shelf for the last 10 mins of potato cooking time.

Make the Sauce
4

Pop a medium saucepan on medium heat and add the creme fraiche, tarragon, veg stock paste, mustard and water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount). Stir together, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce until slightly reduced, 4-5 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.

Fish to Fry
5

Once everything is just about ready, pop your frying pan back on medium-high heat - it should have some bacon fat in the pan to fry the fish in, but if not, add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the bream to the pan, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the skin is golden brown, 2-3 mins, then turn over and cook for a further 2 mins. TIP: Don't move the fish while it's cooking skin-side down to ensure crispy skin. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything is ready, reheat the sauce if necessary. Serve the bream on your plates with the potatoes and broccoli alongside. Spoon over the creamy sauce, then snap the crispy bacon into pieces and sprinkle over the top. Enjoy!
