Roast the potatoes
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Add basil pesto to the tray and toss to combine.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, halve any thick stalks of baby broccoli lengthways. Trim green beans.

Prep the fish
3

• Discard any liquid from John dory fillet packaging. Slice fish in half crossways to get 1 fillet per person. • In a large bowl, combine fish fillets, Aussie spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook the greens
4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli and green beans, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Season to taste, then transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Cook the fish
5

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook fish in batches until just cooked through, 5-6 minutes each side. • In the last minute of cook time, add the butter and allow to melt.

TIP: The fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white. TIP: Add extra oil between batches if needed so the fish doesn't stick to the pan.

Serve up
6

• Divide pesto potatoes, sautéed greens and John dory between plates. • Crumble over feta (see ingredients) to serve. Enjoy!

  • Flavour: Reviewers enjoyed the meal's flavours, though some found the seasoning too salty when using the full packet.
  • Ease of prep: Customers appreciated how easy the dish was to prepare.
  • Suggestions: Consider using less seasoning to avoid overpowering the fish; adjust to taste.
