SWEET POTATO CRUNCH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
DREAMY TARTARE & PLUMP PEAS
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, combine the mayo, yoghurt, chopped dill, and chopped gherkins. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion and set aside.
TOAST THE SESAMES
Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat. When hot, toast the sesame seeds for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
GET GRILLING
When the wedges have 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the basa dry with paper towel and coat in the Seafood Rub. When the pan is hot, fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion.
TOSS THAT SALAD
Toss the rinsed green leaves with the peas, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the lemon zest to taste. Add a drizzle of oil, season, and toss to coat.
TIME TO PLATE UP
Plate the roast sweet potato wedges beside the herbed basa. Dish up a serving of zesty salad and a large dollop of tartar sauce. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and a fresh lemon wedge. Smell that, Chef!
