Tips

Our favourite way to cook fish is in butter but make sure to add a little olive oil too as it stops the butter from burning.
Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook the fish in batches if your pan isn't big enough.

This recipe serves four, if you’re cooking for two simply halve the recipe. We’d recommend making the full amount of pesto as it will last in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

INGREDIENTS Ingredients

Crispy baby potatoes

750g baby potatoes (halved)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Fish

600g white fish fillets (we used tarakihi)
Olive oil/ butter
Salt and pepper
‍

Herby pistachio pesto

4 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 lemon (juice)
¼ cup roasted pistachios
½ cup dill
½ cup coriander
1 garlic clove

Salad

120g baby cos (1 bag)
1 fennel bulb (finely sliced and fronds roughly chopped)
½ cucumber (sliced into half moons)

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
Cut the baby potatoes in half and pop them on a baking tray, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss well.
Pop in the oven to roast for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
In the meantime make the pesto, add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until combined and vibrant green; set aside.
Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a large pan over a medium heat and add some olive oil, butter or a mixture of both. Cook the fish for a couple of minutes on either side (depending on the size of the fillets).
While the fish is cooking add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl, and pour over ¾ of the pesto; toss well to make sure everything is coated in the pesto.
Serve the salad alongside the fish and crispy potatoes, using the remaining pesto to dollop on top of the fish.

VARIATIONS

Vegetables

Swap out the dill for parsley.

Protein
