ROAST THE BABY POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season to taste, and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, shifting halfway.

CHARRED Corn & BEANS
When the roast potatoes are halfway, place a nonstick pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred, shifting occasionally. Add the drained kidney beans and the coriander & chilli pesto. Fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and well combined, shifting constantly. On completion, transfer to a bowl and season to taste. Cover to keep warm and set aside for serving.
PAN FRY THE CAJUN BASA
Pat the basa dry with some paper towel and coat in some seasoning and the Cajun Rub to taste. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and golden. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the fish with a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the pan on completion.
