fish w pot

Method

  • Bring a medium sized pot 2/3 full of lightly salted water and bring to the boil
  • Add the potatoes and bring back to the boil
  • Reduce the temperature so that they are just on a gentle boil and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes)
  • Whilst the potatoes are cooking put all the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl and mix to combine, season with a pinch of salt and set aside
  • Slice the fennel thinly and add to a large bowl
  • Pick through the herbs and leaves discarding any long stalks and discoloured leaves and place into the bowl with the fennel
  • When the potatoes are cooked drain and add to the leaves, drizzle over the dressing and add a generous grind or two of pepper
  • Toss gently to combine and to allow the greens to lightly wilt and for the dressing to soak into the potatoes and fennel
  • Dust fish fillets in flour and shake away excess
  • Dip in egg and toss in combined breadcrumbs and parmesan
  • Heat a frying pan filled with 1cm of olive oil, then shallow-fry fish for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden
  • Drain on absorbent paper and serve immediately with potato and fennel salad and lemon wedges
