Description
Works well with any firm white fish, also frozen - Rachel used to do this in Manchester, far from the coast so not good for fresh fish
Ingredients
- around 200g fish fillets per person
- around 250g waxy potatoes per person
- tomato paste (around 1 tbsp per person
- sea salt
- sweet paprika
Instructions
Heat oven to around 200C, drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil into a roasting pan and heat up in the oven. Peel the potatoes and slice them into rounds about 2 cms thick. Take pan out and lay potatoes in it, sprinkle with sea-salt and sweet paprika, and smear with tomato paste (from tube). Stir potatoes around to cover completely with oil and tomato, return to oven.
Lie the fish in a big enough dish, sprinkle with a little sea-salt and sweet paprika, and smear with tomato paste. Drizzle with a little olive oil and turn fish over to make sure it’s well coated.
When the potatoes have part-cooked (around 15-20 minutes), take the pan out, turn them over, lay fish in pan (or on top of potatoes) and return to oven. After 5-10 more minutes (depending on thickness of fish fillets) take out again, carefully turn fish over and return to oven.
After another 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish) it should be done, check that the potatoes are soft, and the fish roasted but not dry.
Spoon some sauce over the fish and serve with vegetables (e.g. carrots) and/or a salad.
