Method

  1. Pour all the oil from the jar of peppers into a deep frying pan. Heat the oil until bubbling, then tip in the potatoes and onion and toss in the oil. Cook for 5 mins, stirring every now and then until the potatoes are beginning to turn golden.
  2. Carefully pour most of the oil out of the frying pan, leaving behind about 1 tbsp. Tip in the beans and drained peppers, season and stir until well mixed. Lay the fish, skin side down, on top of the vegetables.
  3. Cover the pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins more or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender. Squeeze the lemon half over the fish and serve with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

    Done this a couple of times now, it's great. Only problem is that I found the potatoes took longer to softner up than the time suggested, the extra time didn't spoil fish though, and it looks fantastic on the plate.

    Straightforward to do and tasty to eat - Will definitely do again. A half glass of dry white or vermouth just after tipping out the oil adds a little extra something too.

    Really tasty. I par-boiled the potatoes first, there is no way they'd have been done in time otherwise. But really nice.

    Absolutely delish!! A firm favourite in my house and very healthy. I cook the fish separately in the oven, wrapped in tin foil for 20 minutes though. I cheated last time I made it though - I was short on time so bought a packet of fresh microwavable new potatoes instead and just chopped them up.
