Ingredients
  

  • 600g floury potatoes unpeeled and cut into chunks
  • 140g frozen peas
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 lemon juice and zest
  • 1 tbsp capers roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp snipped chives
  • 4 haddock or other chunky white fish fillets about 120g each or use 2 small fillets per person
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • vegetables of your choice, to serve on the side

Instructions
 

  • Cover the potatoes in cold salted water, bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes until tender, adding peas for the final minute of cooking. Drain and roughly crush together, adding plenty of seasoning and 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, for the dressing, mix 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, the lemon juice and zest, capers and chives with some seasoning.
  • Dust the fish in the flour, tapping off any excess and season. Heat the remaining tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the fish for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until cooked, then add the dressing and warm through. Serve with the crushed potatoes and vegetables of your choice on the side.
