This a great weekend meal to have. Also, this is the first time in a long time I have fried fish in a frying pan. I used white cod for my dish but salmon, rainbow trouts and other white dishes are great options too as they are so light in flavour and texture.
These fishes go really well with white sauces but I wanted to make a tomato sauce for a change. I came to find that tomato sauces also go really well with these light fi
Having cherry tomato in the sauce adds a freshness to the sauce and makes it look vibrant. Mix that with chopped tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and red pesto sauce fused with herbs, you have a great sauce. If you feel that the sauce is too acidic, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to neutralise it.
The mashed potato goes really well the fish and adds substance in contrast to a light fish. The great thing about this dish is that it is incredibly versatile and easy to make.
