Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a deep, ovenproof frying pan, tip in the 7-spice and sizzle for a moment. Add the ginger and chilli, give it a stir, then add the chickpeas, stirring to coat them with the spices. Pour in the tomatoes, season to taste and bring to the boil.

  • step 2

    Season the fish and place on top of the chickpea mix, skin side down. Splash some of the sauce over the fish, then roast for 12 mins, or until the fish flakes when gently pressed. Scatter over the coriander and serve.

Was a tad concerned about the amount of ginger in this...but it worked perfectly, the heat was lovely without overpowering the flavours. Didn't bother heating up the oven to finish this off (seemed like a waste of energy), just popped the lid on the frying pan after adding the fish until it was…

Loved this one, so flavoursome. Quick & easy too which is great for a midweek meal.

Made it again today and it was much better this time. I added an extra tin of tomatos to make the 'sauce' go further. I only put 1.5 tsp of 7 spice in aswell and I think this was plenty. Really enjoyed it and will be making it again

I have cooked this before a long time ago and thought that the ginger was way too over-powering. I think that was because i found it hard to grate it fine enough and it was a bit too fibreous (spelling??) for my liking. Im going to try this recipe again tomorrow as I now have a super-duper…

I tried this with a thick piece of hake and it was delicious.
