Snapper And Garlic Potatoes

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 (175 g) red snapper fillets
• 750 g potatoes (baby potatoes)
• 1 lemon (zest and juice of)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
• 1 cup spring onion (scallions finely sliced)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup basil leaves (roughly chopped or torn)
• 1 lemon (cut into 4 wedges)

Recipe

• 1 cut 4 fillets in half and set aside.
• 2 simmer baby potatoes in salted water until they are tender and cut into 3cm sections.
• 3 meanwhile make the dressing (while potatoes are cooking) by combining the lemon, oil, garlic, spring onions and seasoning (i would recommend you put all ingredients into a jar, seal and shake well).
• 4 add the dressing to the cooked potatoes while they are still hot so they soak up the dressing.
• 5 heat a little extra olive oil in a heavy frypan/skillet and cook the fish pieces until they are golden on both sides and just cooked through.
• 6 when ready to serve, fold the basil through the potatoes.
• 7 serve the 2 pieces of fish and a quarter of the potatoes with some rocket leaves or baby green leaves if desired.
