Method

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 2cm pieces, then tip into a pan. Just cover with boiling water, then simmer on a medium-high heat for 5 mins.
  2. Trim the broccoli and lay evenly in a colander, then pop on top of the pan. Lay the plaice fillets, skin-side down, over the broccoli, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then cover and steam for a further 5 mins.
  3. Quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely slice the chilli, then add to a small bowl. Tear in the basil leaves (reserving a few pretty ones), then squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Drizzle with 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss together.
  4. Lift off the colander, keeping it covered, and set aside. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan. Finely grate in the Parmesan with 1 tsp olive oil and the milk. Mash to your liking and season to perfection.
  5. Transfer the mash onto plates with the steamed fish and broccoli.Spoon the tomato salsa over the top and scatter over the reserved basil leaves. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
