INGREDIENTS

 

 

FISH
• 2 x 200g snapper fillets, cut into thick fish fingers
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper

 

 

SWEET POTATO WEDGES
• 1 large sweet potato, cut into wedges
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp smoked Spanish paprika
• Salt

 

TARTARE SAUCE
• ½ cup Japanese mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp baby capers, chopped finely
• 6 cornichons, cut into small dice
• 1 bunch dill, finely chopped
• ¼ Spanish onion, finely diced

 

CRUMB
• 2 cups panko crumbs, pan-fried in ½ tbsp olive oil until golden brown
• ½ cup toasted and salted macadamias, crushed
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper
• Zest of 1 lemon

 

METHOD
Preheat oven to 240C fan-forced. Toss sweet potato wedges in olive oil and smoked paprika. Season generously. Spread on a lined baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes until crispy and cooked through.

• Meanwhile, make the tartare sauce by mixing mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, dill and onion.
• To make the crumb, mix panko, crushed macadamias, dried oregano and lemon zest together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Approximately five minutes before the sweet potato is cooked, heat oil and butter in a frying pan. Cook the snapper fillet, basting it with the melted butter/oil mixture until cooked through.
• Remove cooked fish from the pan, brush with the tartare sauce and press gently into breadcrumb mixture to coat.
• Serve hot with sweet potato wedges
