Cooking Steps

Roast the Sweet Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Add the sweet potato chunks to a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 20-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Marinate the Fish
2
  • Juice the orange. Halve the lime.
  • To a large bowl, add the orange juice of half the lime.
  • Add the cumin, oregano and basa. 
  • Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate.
Get Prepped
3
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes with a pinch of sugar and a drizzle of oil. Squeeze in the remaining lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for later.
Fry the Basa
4
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, reserving the marinade for later, drain and add the basa to the pan.
  • Fry until browned, 3-4 mins on each side. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Wipe the pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the onion and fry until softened, 6-8 mins.
  • Once softened, add the garlic, the leftover marinade from the bowl and the basa to the pan. 
  • Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced slightly and piping hot, 1-2 mins. 
  • Once reduced, stir in half the coriander, honey and a knob of butter. Turn the basa to coat.
Divide and Serve
6
  • Toss the salad leaves with the tomato.
  • Divide the sweet potatoes and basa between plates.
  • Serve the salad alongside.
  • Spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan.
  • To finish, sprinkle the remaining coriander over the top.
