  This was so, so yummy and so, so easy to make. I can't wait to make it again! I substituted the cod for pollock which I prefered because its a firmer fish that went really well with the mash. The mash was absolutely divine! The soy beans are really sweet and the lemon gave it a lovely tang - and again, this was dead easy to make. I had the whole thing on the table in 20 mins. I found that the cooking times for the tomatoes were a bit long. Next time, I will just put them in at the same time as the fish.

  This is a superb recipe - the basil bean mash is heavenly...it hardly made it to the plate as I keep 'testing' it ! Have recommended this to 3 of my foodie friends and they are equally impressed

  Yes, I agree with all the above. I have cooked this a lot and was delighted to find something I could cook for my mother who can't eat bread, rice, potatoes, noodles, pasta etc etc It looks so pretty on the plate I was happy to feed it to friends as well as quick enough for a mid-week supper. YUM

  Seriously good... don't be put off by using soya beans, they are really quite delicious and this dish was a doddle to prepare and had a beautiful fresh taste. I made it just for me and as the supermarket had run out of cod, I just used lemon sole instead. Will definitely make this again, its low in calories and super-high in taste.

  This was a very good recipe - I really enjoyed the basil mash, and although at first I thought the garlic in the mash might be too overpowering, the tomatoes and lemon cut through this flavour very well. Will certainly cook again.

  Lovely recipe - smells of summer! My husband doesn't like parsnips, so I made it with new potatoes and it was great. Second time I made it I was really tired, so I put the basil and garlic in with the tomatoes and made plain mash - that was lovely too!

  Super recipe there was a bit too much basil bean mash so you could cut down on that part of the recipe

  Fantastic - timings are perfect (but would recommend prepping the basil & garlic for the mash at the beginning as things get pretty quick once the fish and tomatoes are in the oven and the beans are on. Tip if you're on a budget - I substituted soya beans for normal beans and shelled a couple of dozen sugar snap peas to add the natural sweetness. Worked perfectly. Also - I didn't add the olive oil to the mash for health reasons and found that with a little extra pepper and basil that the mixture was still incredible. The best part of the dish was the fact that each of the items perfectly complemented eachother. I surprised myself as I'm not much of a cook.

  I had never tried Soya beans before, but am now converted. Cooked this for a girly night and was perfect as it tastes delicious and is really healthy. Yummy!

  Gorgeous! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it, we used plum tomatoes instead of the cherry ones and it was great. I'll definately make this again soon!

  This was lovely - so many delicious flavours and healthy too! I couldn't get soya beans in my local supermarket so used tinned broad beans instead and they worked well. I suppose any kind of bean really would be fine.

  Fantastic recipe, used soya beans first time but broad beans second, just as good with both. A bit too much mash but altogether great taste.

  I also used broad beans which worked well. I must have used a very fat garlic clove though, as it was a little too strong. Otherwise a lovely recipe.

  Lovely...especially the mash! I used smoke haddock as that's all I had....a bit over-powering but still very nice!

  Very easy, the fish and tomatoes were amazing. I think I need to play around with the mash a little as it was a bit of a let down.

  Lovely! I did a little bit of rice for the kids who were happy with this. The mash was also great. Very tasty and fresh. Will be making again.
