Cooking steps

Roast the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Halve the potatoes (quarter larger chunks) and pop onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Toss with thyme, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil
  • Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Quarter the lemon.
Prepare the Sauce
2
  • Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the leek and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
  • Once softened, deglaze with the creme fraiche.
    Add half the mustard sachet (per 2P). Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over the top.
  • Allow to reduce until the sauce thickens, 1-2 mins. Set aside, covered.
Fry the Fish

  • Meanwhile, mix 1 tbsp of flour (per 2P) with salt and pepper.
  • Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper, then coat it in flour. Shake off any excess flour
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with ½ tbsp butter (per 2P). 
  • Once hot, lay the fillets in the pan and cook for 4-5 mins. Turn over and cook on the other side, a further 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
