DINNER: BAKED FISH IN TAMARI & HONEY SAUCE WITH HASSELBACK BAKED POTATO & MINTY PEAS
Serves 1
When researching Scandinavian inspired dinners I found fish to be a predominant ingredient, I love cooking fish and often opt for baking over frying or grilling as it’s easier and not nearly as messy! You can use most white fish fillets for this recipe and even salmon works well. I adore hasselback baked potatoes as they’re a little crunchier and crispier than regular baked potatoes, they feel extra special and I adore how the seasonsing gets right into the potato as it bakes. Adding some torn mint to the peas adds a refreshing touch of contrasting flavour which really brings the whole plate together. I hope you enjoy this recipe, I’d love to hear if you give it a go!
Ingredients:
- 1-2 fish fillets, deboned
- 1 tbsp of tamari
- 1 tsp of honey
- 1 potato
- Olive oil
- Frozen peas
- A few mint leaves
- Salt & Pepper
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 190’c.
- Take the potato and carefully cut incisions ¾ of the way down, maybe even a little further.
- Drizzle olive oil over the potato and rub it into the incisions.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper into the incisions and pop in the oven to bake for 40 minutes.
- After 40 mins, take the fish and place on tin foil.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp of tamari and 1 tsp of honey over the fish and wrap the tin foil upwards and crinkle together to close fully. Place the tin foil parcel onto the potato tray and return to the oven with the potato. Cook for 15-20 mins.
- At the same time pop some frozen peas into a saucepan with water. Cook for 10-15 mins.
- Drain the peas, add torn mint leaves, a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix in well.
- Check the fish is cooked well and serve all together. Enjoy!
