Notes

1. Baby potatoes in Australia are called chat potatoes. I think they are called new potatoes in the US. You can use any type of potatoes you want. Just ensure they are starchy ones suitable for roasting and mashing (that go fluffy when cooked), not the waxy ones which are good for boiling for things like potato salad (which hold their shape).

2. This can be made with fresh fish or good quality frozen fish. Thaw the fish completely before cooking.

3. The cooking time for the fish will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet you are using. If you aren't sure, just take a peek by pushing aside some of the fish flakes in the centre of the fish to check. And remember that the fish will continue to cook while resting! Also if you are cooking fish straight out of the fridge, it will take a little longer to cook than fish at room temperature

4.I am not entirely convinced this nutrition analysis is correct. I consider this to be a pretty balanced meal but the nutrition calculator came out with a nutrition glade C-.
