Ingredients Breakdown

For the wedges… 

  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper

For the fish…

  • 4 x 140g white fish fillets, such as cod or haddock
  • 40g walnuts
  • 40g Brazil nuts
  • 40g cashews
  • 60g wholemeal breadcrumbs
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ½inch fresh ginger
  • 1 lemon, zest of

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.

First let’s tackle our wedges. Cut your sweet potatoes into wedges or fries. Pop in a bowl and drizzle over 1 tbsp of olive oil, your rosemary and season. Rub together to be sure they are well coated.

Add the sweet potato to a pan on a medium-high heat and flash fry for 5-7 minutes to give them a crispy, golden skin. Transfer to an oven tray and bake in your preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 for 20-30 minutes.

Now onto your fish. Add your nuts, breadcrumbs, turmeric, ginger and lemon zest to a blender and blitz into a fine crumb. Season with salt and pepper.

Lay the fish fillets on a baking tray, skin side down, then press the crumbs over the surface of each piece.

Bake in the oven at the same temperature as your sweet potato for 10-12 mins until the fish is cooked through and the crust is crisp and brown.

Serve up with a side of broccoli and your delicious wedges.
