Zesty haddock with crushed potatoes & peas recipe

Ingredients

  • 600g floury potato, unpeeled, cut into chunks
  • 140g frozen peas
  • 2 ½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • juice and zest ½ lemon
  • 1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp snipped chives
  • 4 haddock or other chunky white fish fillets, about 120g each (or use 2 small per person)
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • broccoli, to serve

Method

  • Cover the potatoes in cold water, bring to the boil, then turn to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins until tender, adding peas for the final min of cooking. Drain and roughly crush together, adding plenty of seasoning and 1 tbsp oil. Keep warm.

  • Meanwhile, for the dressing, mix 1 tbsp oil, the lemon juice and zest, capers and chives with some seasoning.

  • Dust the fish in the flour, tapping off any excess and season. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked, then add the dressing and warm through. Serve with the crush and broccoli.
