Baked basa fillet with lemon and caper butter

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 frozen basa fillets 

1/2 a lemon, zested & juiced

25g butter 

1 tsp Dijon mustard 

2 tsp capers 

Small bunch of parsley (chopped)

2 sweet potatoes 

200g spinach

garlic salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°, 170 fan. 

2. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into small cubes. Place the sweet potato in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and leave to simmer. 

2. Meanwhile, put the frozen basa fillets on a non-stick baking tray and place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. (Halfway through the cooking time you can add a thin slice of lemon to the top of each fillet for extra flavour).

4. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove from the heat and mash. Cover with a lid to keep in the heat whilst you prepare the sauce. Optional: Add a knob of butter to make a more creamy mash.

5. For the sauce, heat 25g butter in a small frying pan until melted and add the zest and juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon of dijon, two teaspoons of capers and some chopped parsley. 

6. To prepare the spinach, gently sauté in a pan or steam until wilted. 

7. Once the fish is cooked, serve immediately with the sweet potato mash and wilted spinach. Pour the caper sauce over the fish, sprinkle a small amount of garlic salt to the spinach and enjoy!
