Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170/gas 5. Slice the potatoes and boil for 6-8 mins until just tender, then drain.

  • step 2

    Butter or oil one large or two smaller shallow ovenproof dishes that will fit the fish fillets in one layer (a couple of roasting tins would work well). Scatter the potatoes over the base of the dishes, then halve the tomatoes and scatter on top, along with the olives. Set the fish fillets among the other ingredients then pour over the stock and wine, then season to taste.

  • step 3

    Cover the dishes with foil and seal the edges. Bake for 15 mins until the fish is tender. Serve each portion on warm plates and scatter with basil.

Made this on many occasions now and it has always been a big success. I felt the recipe needed more 'juice' so usually add about 200mls of fish stock/200mls of white wine and plenty of fresh chopped herbs (parsley/tarragon/dill/fennel). I also use Jersey Royals and a full jar of olives. Perfect!…

We've made this many times and always enjoy it. The secret is using really fresh ingredients, spending a bit exttra on really good fish, and buying a proper fish stock from the chiller cabinet (as the reciipe says) as using stock cubes will spoil it.

Didnt work for me either tried to add garlic to add flavour. Potato's not cooked and lacked flavour. Fish was nice along with the toms but apart from that a poor recipe.
