Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes in a large baking tray and toss with the olive oil and fennel seeds. Season, arrange in a single layer, then bake for 20 mins until softened and starting to crisp.

  • step 2

    Turn the potatoes over and add the beetroot, season and return to the oven for 15 mins. Place the fish in the centre, season well and rub over a little oil from the tray. Return to the oven for 10 mins more.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, sprinkle the lemon zest over the crème fraîche with a good grind of black pepper. To serve, scatter the fish with basil and dollop with some of the lemony crème fraîche.

Made it using cooked beetroots (out of a vacuum pack), and added them with the fish. It worked fine and there was no worry whether the beetroot was thoroughly cooked. Used yogurt instede of creme fraiche - worked fine.

This recipe is very nice, I did not include the beetroot as I was having this with some leftovers but otherwise I followed the recipe to a T. The best part was definitely the potato, I sliced mine far too thinly but the taste overall was delicious. I personally enjoyed the creme fraiche as it helped…

Really good base recipe. I cooked beetroot from start as per comments, mine was raw beforehand. I also switched pollock for salmon and fennel seeds for capers. So delicious!

Bit late to be asking this really as it's now in the oven! Just concerned that it'll need a sauce.....no doubt will be answering this later :-)

We hope you enjoyed it! The lemony crème fraîche is all it needs in our opinion but less us know what you think.
