Cooking steps

Roast the Basa
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Pop the basa onto a lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
  • Cook on top shelf of oven, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
Cook the Potatoes
2
  • Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
  • When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins.
  • When 1 min of cooking time remains add the spinach to the water with the potatoes to allow to wilt.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Season the Spinach
3
  • Once potatoes and spinach are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Season the spinach and potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tbsp butter (per 2P) and mix carefully to combine.
  • Set aside and cover to keep warm.
Prep the Veg
4
  • Meanwhile, halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and finely chop half (per 2P).
  • Finely chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • When 5 mins of cooking time remain for the fish, return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
Simmer the Sauce
5
  • When the pan is hot, fry the chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and garlic until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Add 75ml water (per 2P) and the stock.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 mins.
  • Stir the creme fraiche into the pan along with half the chives.
  • Season to taste with pepper then remove the pan from the heat.

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.

Garnish and Serve
6
  • Divide the spinach and potatoes between plates.
  • Serve the basa alongside.
  • Spoon the chilli chive sauce over the top.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining chives.
