Baked Lemon & Herb Basa With Cherry Tomatoes

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 fish fillet[s]

Squeeze over the juice of the remaining lemon and top the fish 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 fish 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
