This simple and fuss-free pan-fried fish dinner can be made with your favourite white fish fillets or salmon. The pea guacamole uses just a few ingredients, and adds a huge amount of flavour.

If peas aren’t for you, try our salmon and broccoli tray bake which ticks the healthy box and is super tasty.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/ gas 7. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until the point of a sharp knife slips in easily. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, make the guacamole: boil the peas for 2 minutes in a pan of salted water. Drain the peas and whizz with the remaining guacamole ingredients – you can do this in a mini blender or in a bowl using a stick blender. Add a little water if you need to loosen the mixture, then season well and set aside.
  3. Put the cooked potatoes in a casserole or roasting tin. Crush gently with the back of a spoon, then drizzle over the olive oil, crumble over the feta and sprinkle with half the sumac. Roast for 10 minutes, then remove the casserole/tin from the oven and set the salmon on top. Sprinkle with the remaining sumac and return the dish/tin to the oven for 10-12 minutes more, or until the fish is just cooked.
