  1. READY, GET SET, ROAST!

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the baby marrow chunks in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside for step 4.

  2. LEMONY BASTING

    Halve the partially zested lemon and set the unzested half aside for another meal. Slice off 2 circles for the basa parcel and cut the rest into wedges. Place the grated garlic, the Seafood Rub, and three-quarters of the chopped dill in a bowl. Mix with 1 tbsp of oil until combined. Add the juice of 1 lemon wedge and some lemon zest to taste. Mix well to combine and set aside.

  3. PREP THE BASA

    Pat the basa dry with paper towel and season lightly. Place in the centre of a piece of tinfoil (large enough to wrap around the whole fillet). Smear with the basting and top with the lemon circles. Close up tightly to seal it in and place on a baking tray.

  4. YOU’RE HALFWAY THERE!

    When the potatoes reach the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give a shift. Scatter over the dressed baby marrow and drizzle over the balsamic vinegar. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time until the baby marrow is cooked through and the potatoes are crispy. Pop the fish in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until soft and flakey.

  5. SEEDS & SALAD STUFF

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Just before serving, toss the rinsed salad leaves and sliced radish with some lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  6. FRESH & FLAVOURFUL

    Dish up the balsamic-roasted baby potatoes and marrow alongside the basa parcel. Open it up and sprinkle in the remaining chopped dill. Serve the fresh salad on the side with spinklings of toasted pumpkin seeds. Now dig in, Chef!
