Before you begin...
This recipe takes around 5-10 min to prep, so get your oven-proof dish and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg
Now, let's get started!
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Boil half a kettle
Chop your potatoes (skins on) into small bite-sized pieces and add them to a large oven-proof dish (or two!)
Crush your garlic open by squashing them with the side of a knife (but keep the skins on!)
Add the crushed garlic to the dish[es] with your cherry tomatoes, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up and put the dish[es] in the oven for an initial 35 min
Meanwhile, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 100ml [130ml][150ml] boiled water and stir in your dried basil and dried oregano – this is your herby stock
Slice half your lemon[s] into rounds and set them aside for later
Use this time to clear up, set the table, have a cup of tea or simply chill!
After 35 min, remove the dish[es] from the oven and pour the herby stock all over the potatoes and tomatoes
Top with your basa fillet[s]
Squeeze over the juice of the remaining lemon and top the basa with the reserved lemon slices
Return the dish[es] to the oven for 15-20 min or until the fish is cooked through – this is your baked lemon & herb basa with cherry tomatoes
Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily
Add a few knobs of butter to the potatoes and leave to melt
Wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper and roughly shred
To serve, tear your parsley & dill all over the baked lemon & herb basa with cherry tomatoes (watch out for the garlic skins!)
Drizzle the shredded lettuce with a little olive oil and serve it alongside
Dig in!
