2 Fillets white fish

1 Handful cherry tomatoes – slice in half

1/2 onion – peel and chop finely

1 tablespoon fresh basil – chop coarsely

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon fresh parsley – chop finely

2-3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese – grate finely

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1. Preheat oven to 400f.2. Season the fish fillets with freshly ground salt and pepper.3. Place a few glugs of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium to high heat.4. When the pan is hot, add the fish fillets and sear them on both sides – about 1 minute each

side. They should sizzle as they hit the pan. Once done, remove from pan onto a baking tray.

5. Place the same pan you cooked the fish in back on the stove on medium to high heat. Add another splash of olive oil and sauté the cherry tomatoes and onions for about 5 minutes. Mix in the fresh basil, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

6. Mix breadcrumbs, grated parmesan and chopped parsley in a food processor and give it a few quick pulses.

7. Add a generous layer of the tomato and onions on each fish fillet and top with breadcrumb mixture. Bake in the oven for 6 minutes.

To serve, divide the fish fillets between the plates. Drizzle a circle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar

on the plate.
