Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray in a single layer. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes. In a bowl, toss the broccoli with a drizzle of oil and seasoning and set aside. Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting regularly. Remove from the pan and set aside.
CRUMB COATING
Pat the fillet dry with paper towel and season. In a shallow dish, whisk 1 egg with 1 tsp of water. Prepare 2 more shallow dishes; one containing the flour and the other containing a mixture of the breadcrumbs, seasoning, and ½ the grated cheese. Coat the fillet in the flour first, then in the egg, and lastly in the crumb.
FINISH THE ROAST
When the potatoes reach the halfway mark, give the tray a shift. Add the dressed broccoli to the other side of the tray. Roast for the remaining time until the potatoes are soft and the broccoli is starting to char.
FRY UP
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, add the fillet and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and place on the roasting tray with the potatoes or on a separate tray. Roast in the hot oven for 7-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the roasted potatoes.
SAGE BUTTER
Wipe down the pan with a paper towel and place over a medium heat with 30g of butter. Once foaming, fry the dried sage leaves for 1 minute per side until crispy. (To make this easier, use tongs if you have them!) On completion, drain the leaves on paper towel. Remove the pan of sage-infused butter from the heat and set aside for serving.
TOSS
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the toasted almonds, the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, the cheese ribbons, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
