Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Step 2
Boil a full kettle.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes (skin on) into bite-size pieces.
Step 4
Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
Step 5
Add the potatoes and garlic to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring back to the boil over a high heat.
Step 6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 min or until fork-tender.
Step 7
Once cooked, drain and return to the pot to steam dry.
Step 8
Reboil a kettle.
Step 9
Wash the spinach in a colander.
Step 10
Pour boiled water all over the spinach so that it wilts.
Step 11
Once wilted, rinse the spinach in cold water until it has cooled, then give it a good squeeze to get rid of excess water.
Step 12
Boil the kettle again (last time, we promise!).
Step 13
Chop the squeezed spinach roughly.
Step 14
Grate the cheddar cheese.
Step 15
Trim then slice the spring onion finely.
Step 16
Place the smoked basa fillets on a glass baking tray.
Step 17
Drizzle them with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 18
Put the tray in the oven for 10 min or until the fish is cooked through.
Step 19
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily.
Step 20
Heat a pot of boiled water with a tablespoon of vinegar and a pinch of salt over medium heat.
Step 21
Once gently boiling, carefully crack the eggs into the water and cook for 3 min.
Step 22
Once done, transfer them to kitchen paper using a slotted spoon and season with salt and pepper - these are your poached eggs.
Step 23
Return the drained potatoes to a low heat.
Step 24
Add a large knob of butter and a splash of milk.
Step 25
Mash until smooth, then add the chopped spinach.
Step 26
Stir in the grated cheddar and spring onion and season generously with salt and pepper - this is your cheesy spinach mash.
Step 27
Serve the smoked basa over the cheesy spinach mash, top with a poached egg and a good grind of pepper.
Step 28
Enjoy!
