  I used Barts Harissa as it is cheaper. It was a very simple but very tasty dish and I swear by the frozen 'ice cube' style herbs including ginger available from sainsbury's. My husband really liked the dish.

  This was by far the worst recipe I've ever cooked from Good Food. The butter was bitter from too much lemon rind, The fish was not cooked and required a lot longer in the oven, and despite the ginger the mash was bland. Sorry!

  This was gorgeous - a real winter warmer. The fish was perfect. I cooked this for 5 people but just used one lemon and half the ginger but added a few pinches of cinnamon to the potatoes and a little butter.

  I really liked this, and so did my partner. It was a lovely blend of flavours, and gently spiced. I might try a little more harissa next time, I used three-quarters of a teaspoon. Perfect.

  This was a very tasty recipe, we especially liked the ginger mash but I have to admit to adding just a bit more ginger than the recipe states (and also some butter) - yum!

  Absolutely delicious! I only used half a lemon and omitted the garlic but loved the sweet potato with ginger. Easy to make dairy free - I used a DF spread instead of butter with no problems, and a splash of olive oil in the potato to mash it. Used a heaped tsp of harissa to give it a real kick. Will be making again!

  this is so simple and so tasty, made more of the harrisa butter and used that to mix in with the mash along side the ginger

  This was also by far the worst recipe I've tried from GF! Just wish I'd read the reviews beforehand like I usually do... Too mushy, no textures, like mentioned before the lemon was too much and so was the ginger and the fish was under cooked! Needs work!

  I found the mash far too sweet and the fish seemed to be overpowered by everything else
