This is a great recipe for clearing out your leftover frozen fish - haddock is a must in this one and I used some hake, kingklip and prawns in this one (but you can really use any fish). It takes a bit of effort and time, but it is soooo worth it! This one is a crowd pleaser for the whole family.
Baking the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them is essential! It makes it 10 x more delicious. So I put them in the oven around the time that we were having lunch, pulled them out when they were done and let them cool down completely before ripping the skin off with my fingers.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 180C. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and cook until soft (this can take up to 2 hours depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, so plan/make ahead!). Baking them like this is absolutely worth the effort! Remove the skin and mash the flesh with 2 tbsp of the oil, the cumin and paprika. I like to use a stick blender to get it beautifully smooth, but this is not essential. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with a glug of oil and cook the onions and peppers until soft.
  • In a separate saucepan, warm the milk over a low-medium heat. Then add the fish pie mix and prawns and cook for 4 mins until the prawns have just turned pink. Remove the the fish and prawns and reserve the milk.
  • Add the harissa paste to the onions and peppers and cook for 2 mins.
  • Add the reserved milk bit and cream to the onions and peppers. When the mixture starts bubbling, combine the cornflour with a little milk and add - stirring the whole time. Once it starts to thicken, add the spinach and cook until wilted. Lastly, add the fish and prawns, stirring carefully.
  • Pour the fish mixture into an ovenproof dish, then spoon over the sweet potato mash. Carefully spread it out, then rough it up with a fork.
  • Bake for 20 mins, then grill for 10 mins on the hottest setting. Serve with cooked greens of your choice.

This is a delicious, rich fish bake - perfect for a winter's evening. We used hake, but you can use any firm white fish.
Print Recipe

Ingredients

For the tahini sauce

  • ¼ cup tahini plus 2 extra Tbsp
  • 2 cloves garlic medium, coarsely chopped (2 tsp)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp sea salt

For the fish

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus 3 Tbsp extra, divided
  • 2 medium onions thinly sliced (3½ cups)
  • 800 g firm white fish
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1½ tsp ground cumin
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (plus 2Tbsp extra) replace with gluten free flour or cornflour if gluten free
  • 2 medium hot green chillies serrano or jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp pine nuts
  • ½ cup Italian parsley coarsely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground sumac

To serve

  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Make the tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and ¼ cup cold water to make a thick and creamy sauce. Set aside.
  • To a large skillet over medium-low heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil; when the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 10–12 minutes.
  • Add 3 tablespoons cool water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have completely softened but have not taken on any color, 8–10 minutes more. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.Meanwhile, in a large, shallow bowl, stir together the lemon juice and zest, and ½ teaspoon cumin; season to taste with salt and black pepper, then add the fish fillets and turn several times to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes. (Don’t leave it for much longer than this, otherwise the fish will start to break down.)
  • To a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining oil. Sprinkle the flour over a large plate and, one at a time, lift the fish pieces from the marinade and lightly dredge in the flour. Add the fish to the skillet (without crowding the pan) and cook, turning once halfway through, just until both sides are golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Stir the cooled onions and the chillies into the reserved tahini sauce, then pour the sauce over the fish, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with the pine nuts, transfer to the oven, and roast until the fish is just cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Switch the oven to the grill setting and continue cooking until browned and bubbly, about 3 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and sumac and serve warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges on the side.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 kingklip fillet 400-600g, cut into large chunks
  • 80 g Richard Bosman pancetta
  • 4 medium leeks
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • chopped parsley to serve

Instructions

  • Heat your grill.
  • Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan and cook the pancetta until crisp (pancetta cooks much faster than regular bacon, so this only takes a few minutes). Set aside on kitchen paper and leave the residual fat in the pan.
  • Fry the leeks for a couple of minutes before adding the garlic. Continue to cook gently and stir frequently so that they do not brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Season the kingklip on both sides. Add the olive oil to the pan and fry the kingklip for a few minutes on a side until slightly golden.
  • Add the butter to the pan and once melted, baste the fish. Add the leeks back into the pan with the lemon juice. Transfer to the oven for a few minutes to get some colour on the kingklip.
  • Serve with chopped crispy pancetta, some chopped parsley and wilted greens.

We love @nomuchirps spice rubs - they make it very easy to produce a flavourful meal with minimal fuss. This Cajun baked kingklip was delicious, but also super quick to make. We’d sold out all our fresh kingklip when I wanted to make this dish, so I defrosted a frozen fillet I had in the freezer. Kingklip really does freeze beautifully and we honestly couldn’t tell the difference! I served it with cauliflower mash and sautéed greens.
