Crispy courgette wrapped fish

I love making this crispy courgette wrapped fish for special occasions! It’s really yummy yet very simple to prepare – in fact the pesto can be made hours ahead and the fish only takes 10 minutes to wrap and fry. So this dish is ideal for dinner parties. Serve it with a mash or grilled veggies or a crispy salad.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

400 g white fish fillet
1 large courgette
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
Courgette pesto:
1 medium courgette grated
1 handful of mint leaves
1 handful of parsley green
20 g grated Parmesan can be vegan version
1 clove of garlic minced
1 tsp grated lemon zest

Method

First make the courgette pesto: put all the ingredients in a small food processor, then whizz until you get a coarse paste. Put it aside.
Using a vegetable peeler cut the courgette into long, thin slices. Cut the fish in half, rub with salt & pepper, then carefully wrap with 2-3 courgette slices.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry the wrapped fish for 2-3 minutes on each side until the courgette is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Brush the fried fish with the pesto, then serve with vegetables/salad and the remaining pesto on the side.
