ROASTED VEGGIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the halved baby carrots and broccoli chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until softened and starting to caramelise, shifting halfway.
SUMAC SALSA
In a bowl, combine the diced onion, the chopped Parsley, the chopped walnuts, the sumac spice, a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Set aside for serving.
SIZZLING BASA
When the roast veg has 10 minutes remaining, pat the basa dry with paper towel. Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and golden. Remove from the pan on completion.
Tahini SAUCE
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. When hot, add the grated Garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the heat and add the juice of 1 lemon wedge, the tahini, and 40ml of water. Mix until smooth and creamy.
