Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C). Toss the kumara wedges in 1 tablespoon of the oil and a pinch of salt, and roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and golden.

  2. 2

    Pat the fish dry and season both sides.

  3. 3

    Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the fish for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, adding the garlic for the last minute.

  4. 4

    Squeeze the lemon over the fish and scatter with parsley. Serve with the kumara wedges.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g parsley and ½ lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
