Geoff's Spanish Fish bake and potatoes (also known as healthy fish and chips Espana).
If, like I did tonight, you find ourself just for once alone in the evening and wanting to treat yourself, do try the following. My own recipe, and rather delicious though I say it myself! Multiply up if you are going to serve others.
For 1 serving...
1 x 300g of good quality sustainable white fish fillet. I used haddock.
Either 1 1/2 tsp of mixed herbs for grilled fish, or make your own mixture up with :
(-juice of half a lemon and a few scrapings of zest
-1/2 tsp turmeric
-1/2 tsp fennel
-1 garlic clove finally chopped or dried onion granules if you aren't garlic friendly.)
6 extra thin slices of spanish chorizo (this is the spicy, smoky, spanish sausage, should be wafer thin. You could also use prosciutto but if you do sprinkle some smoked paprika on top).
Heat oven to 200c. Place fish onto a baking tray, and sprinkle herbs on fish and squeeze juice of lemon if using. Tear four slices of the chorizo into strips and layer over the top of the fish until covered like a blanket.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until succulent and tasty.
Meanwhile, take 1 small tin of new potatoes in water, drain them and chop into small cubes. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil into a pan until smoking hot and throw in potatoes, together with remaining two slices of chorizo torn into pieces. Add 1 tbsp of mixed herbs (paprika would be good too). Sauté potatoes for 10 minutes or so while fish bakes.
Serve potatoes with baked chorizo spicy fish. Delicious and mediterranean. Feel virtuous (probably < 500 calories and very little fat).
