Cooking Steps

Boil the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional). 
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Once cooked, reserve 4 tbsp of starchy cooking water to use later.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
Bake the Fish
2
  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Pat the basa with kitchen paper. Lay into an appropriately-sized oven dish (this dish will be used later for the brandade). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
  • Drizzle with oil and season with garlic, salt and pepper.
  • When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until cooked through, 10-15 mins.

NOTE: Adding prawns? Add to the oven dish along with the fish then follow the recipe as written?

Prepare the Brandade
3
  • Meanwhile, mash the potatoes with half the apple cider vinegar, creme fraiche, reserved cooking water and a knob of butter. Add the muscat and season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Using a fork, break the fish slightly and carefully mix with the mash.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese in a separate small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Leave a few larger pieces of fish to enhance texture of the brandade.

Bake the Brandade
4
  • Place the brandade in the oven dish.
  • Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mix over the top. Drizzle over a little oil.
  • Bake on the top shelf until the brandade is nicely coloured, 10-12 mins.
Toss the Salad
5
  • When everything is almost ready, toss the salad leaves with the remaining apple cider vinegar and a drizzle of oil.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper
Dish Up
6
  • Divide the crispy brandade between plates. 
  • Serve the dressed salad leaves alongside.
