BEFORE YOU GET GOING
Read through the whole recipe. Remember, the prep instructions are now displayed in the ingredient list, directly under the item they apply to. So, you have the option to do all your prep at once before you start cooking, or bit by bit as you go through the recipe!
ROAST POTATOES & BRUSSELS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the halved baby potatoes and halved brussels sprouts on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the balsamic vinegar, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting halfway.
PISTACHE WITH PANACHE
Place the pistachios in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion, and set aside to cool. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
BASTING
Halve the zested lemon and set aside one half for another meal. Slice off 1 circle of lemon for the basa and cut the rest into wedges. To make the basting, combine the chopped dill, grated garlic, Seafood Rub, and 1 tsp of oil. Add some lemon juice from the wedges and lemon zest to taste. Season and mix until smooth.
GET BAKED
Pat the basa fillet dry with some paper towel. Cut a piece of tinfoil, large enough to wrap around the whole fillet. Place the fillet in the centre of the foil. Smear with the basting and top with the circle of lemon. Tightly wrap up the tinfoil parcel, sealing in the fish. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until soft and flakey.
FRESH STUFF
Just before serving, toss the rinsed green leaves and radish slices with some lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning to taste.
SUPPERTIME
Dish up the balsamic-roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts alongside the fish parcel. Open it up and sprinkle the remaining chopped dill over the fish. Serve the fresh salad on the side and garnish with the toasted pistachios. Now dig in, Chef!
