Ingredients
- 3 tbsp finely chopped dill
- ½ tbsp cider vinegar
- 4 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
- 2 large handfuls of basil leaves, finely chopped
- 2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 300g baby new potatoes, scrubbed and halved
- 1 x 200g pack baby courgettes, halved lengthways
- 1 x 250g pack skinless boneless river cobbler fillets (or other white fish)
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- a knob of butter
Step by step
- Whisk together the dill, cider vinegar and 3 tablespoons oil with half the basil and garlic; season. Simmer the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15 minutes; drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss with half the herby oil; keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat ½ tablespoon oil in a nonstick frying pan, add the courgettes and fry for 5-6 minutes, turning, until golden. Add the remaining basil and garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add to the potatoes.
-
Return the frying pan to the heat with ½ tablespoon oil, pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper, then dust with the flour and season. Cook them for 2-3 minutes; flip over, add the butter to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Serve with the veg and remaining herby oil.TipYou can use any white fish for this – we like river cobbler, a sustainable farmed fish from South East Asia with a meaty texture, similar to sole.
