Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 (175 grams) snapper fish fillets (red snapper)
  • 750 grams potatoes (baby potatoes)
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice of)
  • 1/3 cup oil (olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup spring onion (scallions finely sliced)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves (roughly chopped or torn)
  • 1 whole lemon (cut into 4 wedges)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cut 4 fillets in half and set aside.

  • Step 2: Simmer baby potatoes in salted water until they are tender and cut into 3cm sections.

  • Step 3: Meanwhile make the dressing (while potatoes are cooking) by combining the lemon, oil, garlic, spring onions and seasoning (I would recommend you put all ingredients into a jar, seal and shake well).

  • Step 4: Add the dressing to the cooked potatoes while they are still hot so they soak up the dressing.

  • Step 5: Heat a little extra olive oil in a heavy frypan/skillet and cook the fish pieces until they are golden on both sides and just cooked through.

  • Step 6: When ready to serve, fold the basil through the potatoes.

  • Step 7: Serve the 2 pieces of fish and a quarter of the potatoes with some rocket leaves or baby green leaves if desired.
