Healthy Fish, Chips & Minted Peas

I’ve tried to devise a meal that doesn’t take forever to prepare – In fact, if you pre-cook the potatoes this can take less than 10 minutes. While this dish doesn’t strictly contain chips, I’ve kept the skin on the potatoes for extra flavour and texture.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ” Filet of Fish per person (I’ve used both Cod & Pollack with this and it works well)
• 1kg Potatoes (I used White Potatoes but New potatoes are just lovely)
• 8 Rasher Smoked Bacon
• 20g Butter
• 2 teaspoons Dried Mint
• 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
• Black Pepper to serve
• 100g Frozen Peas

DIRECTIONS

1.
Wash & Cut the potatoes into 2cm chunks and boil until just soft – 2 mins before they are done, add the peas to the pan – I’m all about saving on washing up!
2.
Preheat the oven to 190C. Season the fish with pepper & wrap each portion of fish in tinned foil – I usually do mine in a triangle with a point at the top. Place on oven tray and cook for 12 mins.
3.
Chop the bacon into 1-2cm pieces and sauté until just cooked.
4.
Drain the potatoes and peas and add the bacon. Melt the butter into this while still hot and add the mint/parsley. I like to bash the potato/bacon mixture up a bit so I get some soft mash textures and some chunks aswell.
5.
Place the fish on top of the mash mixture and season with salt and pepper – Gorgeous!
