Cooking steps

Roast the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
  • Pop the chunks onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Toss with paprika, 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.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Prep the Veg
2
  • Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lemon.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
  • Trim the green beans.
Bake the Fish and Veg
3
  • Lay the basa onto a lined baking tray. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Rub with half the garlic, a pinch of lemon zest and a drizzle of oil. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
  • Pop the broccolini and green beans onto the baking tray alongside the fish.
  • Toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
  • Bake on the middle shelf until fish is cooked and veg is tender, 10-15 mins.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Fry the Prawns
4
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the prawns. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.
Add the Butter
5
  • When the prawns are almost cooked, add 1 tbsp butter (per 2P), stirring until melted, then add the remaining garlic and fry for the final 1 min.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice if needed. 
  • Remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
Dish Up
6
  • Transfer the basa to your plates and spoon your prawns over the fish. 
  • Share roast potatoes, green beans and broccolini between plates, then drizzle the pesto over the potatoes.
  • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
