Recently I was reading through recipe books, as I do... and found a recipe that sounded so good I had to come home and try it, really easy too, must give kudos to Simon Holst for it.

I always dream of going to Greece, after Mama Mia I have plans to run through the hills singing ABBA songs...

So this recipe makes me think of Greece - enjoy!

Greek Style Baked Fish - with Garlic and Lemon Potatoes

1kg potatoes                                  1 - 2 T lemon juice
2 cloves garlic (peeled & chopped)     3 T olive oil
1/2 c chicken stock                          salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 225oC Scrub the potatoes and cut into 2cm cubes. Oil a casserole dish, add potato, garlic, stock, lemon juice and 2T oil. Gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and cook for 20 - 25 mins until golden brown, turn gently to avoid sticking.

600g Fish Fillets (gurnard, terakihi...)  1 onion sliced
400g can chopped tomatoes               2 - 3 slices stale bread
grated zest & juice 1 lemon               1 clove of garlic peeled 
1/2 t salt                                         handful parsley
1 - 2 T olive oil

Heat oil in a frypan. Add the onion and sauté till soft, stir in tomatoes, lemon zest, juice and salt. Allow to come to the boil, then remove from heat. In another casserole dish pour the tomato mixture, place the fish on top. In a blender blend bread, parsley and garlic until crumbed, slowly add oil and process til the crumbs are moist. Sprinkle over fish. Place in the oven for 12 mins or until the crumbs are golden. Allow the fish to stand for 5 - 10 mins. Serve with potatoes and a green salad or tomato and cucumber.

Enjoy :o)

Happy Cooking,
