• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Season the flour and use to coat the basa fillets, then add them to the pan. Fry for 30 secs over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high and fry for a further 2 mins each side, or until golden and cooked through.
• Drain the potatoes. Return to the pan, along with the remaining olive oil and garlic. Lightly crush with a potato masher or a fork, then divide between 2 plates. Top with the fish and drizzle over the chilli and coriander salsa.

• After 5 mins add the potatoes, sprinkle over the garlic granuals and mixed herbs and give a little shake to make sure all the potatoes are covered. The potatoes should take 30 mins. Half way through check the potatoes and give a little shake.
• Next we need to make the pesto. Combine tomatoes, cheese, and pine nuts in a food processor and blend until a paste is formed. If the paste is thick add a drizzle of oil.
• Then you need to coat the basa fillets with the paste. Both side and leave to one side. You can do this earlier if you want a more powerful taste.
• 16 minutes before the potatoes are cooked, put the basa fillets under the grill. Cook for 8 minutes on each side under a medium heat.
• You can pot up the left over pesto and use at a later date.
• Once the potatoes and fish have cooked plate up.
