At a glance

Preparation time: 60 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4 small white potatoes
• 2 tablespoons oil*
• Pepper, to taste
• 1 onion*
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, or 2 garlic cloves
• 2 x 400g canned tomatoes* (no added salt if available)
• 4 x120g frozen fish fillets*, skin on or off
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, to serve (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Dice the potatoes with the skin on by chopping the potatoes in half, then in half again and again so you end up with 8 small pieces of potato. Transfer potatoes to a baking tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with pepper. Mix with a wooden spoon to ensure all potato pieces are covered. Place the potatoes into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until potatoes are soft and starting to brown.
3. Chop the onion by removing the outer skins and roughly chopping into bite size pieces. Place in a bowl for later.
4. If using fresh garlic, remove the outer skin and chop cloves into very small pieces. Add to bowl with the onion.
5. After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven using a tea towel. Add the onion, garlic, and canned tomatoes. Mix everything using a wooden spoon. Add the frozen fish and place each fish fillet onto the tray in between the vegetables. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and add a sprinkle of dried Italian herbs.
6. Return the tray to the oven and bake for a further 25 to 30 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and potatoes are golden in colour.
7. Distribute fish and vegetables between plates or bowls and serve warm.
