  1. Butternut EAT MY DINNER!

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. CRISPY FISH

    When the roast has 8-10 minutes remaining, pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel and season. Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip, add a knob of butter (optional) or a drizzle of oil and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked through.

  3. FINAL TOUCHES

    In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the sliced pepper, a drizzle of oil, ½ the chopped Dill, and seasoning. In a small bowl, loosen the red pepper pesto with oil in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  4. DINNER IS SERVED

    Plate up the roasted Butternut. Side with the crispy fish drizzled with the loosened pesto. Serve with the fresh salad. Garnish with the sliced chilli (to taste) and sprinkle over the remaining dill. Serve with a lemon wedge. Well done, Chef!
