Cooking Steps

Roast the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks, and pop them onto a lined baking tray. 
  • Drizzle with oil and season with half the oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
Prep the Veg
2
  • Halve and peel the onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges.
  • Zest and quarter the lemon
  • Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
  • After 15 mins of potato cooking time, pop the bell pepper and onion with the potatoes.  Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out in a single layer. 
  • Once roasted, toss the veg with the pesto.
Bake the Basa
3
  • In a bowl mix breadcrumbs, lemon zest, remaining oregano, salt, pepper and a good drizzle of oil.
  • Pat the basa with kitchen paper and place on another lined baking tray.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Spread a bit of aioli onto the fish and press the crumb on firmly.
  • Bake on the middle shelf until the crumb is golden and fish is cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
