ROAST THE CARROTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
PICKLED CHILLI
In a small bowl, combine the sliced chilli, the vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle.
BLANCH THE GREENS
Boil the kettle. Fill a pot with boiling water and a pinch of salt. Once bubbling rapidly, blanch the trimmed green beans until cooked al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towel.
COOK THE FISH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter, the grated garlic (to taste), and ½ the lemon juice. Remove from the pan and season.
BATTER & FRY
Fill a bowl or jug with water and ice blocks. To a separate bowl, add the flour and a pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in 50ml of ice-cold water. (Don’t overmix - lumps are fine in this case!) Coat the blanched green beans in the batter. Place a deep pan over high heat with 2cm of oil covering the base. When hot, gently lower the battered green beans into the oil and fry until golden brown, 30-60 seconds (turning regularly). You will need to do this step in batches. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
FRESH SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil. Toss through the shredded leaves, the cucumber half-moons, and the chopped peppers.
