Ingredients

Pan-fried whiting

1 kilogram kipfler potatoes, chopped coarsely

1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil

12 80g whiting fillets, skin on

1/4 cup (35g) plain flour

Leek, tomato and green olive salsa

2 tablespoon olive oil

2 medium leeks, trimmed, sliced thinly

2 clove garlic, crushed

500 gram cherry tomatoes, halved

150 gram seeded large green olives, quartered

1 cup firmly-packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

1.To make salsa: heat oil in a medium saucepan. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Stir in the tomato and olives; cook until heated through. Remove from heat; stir in parsley.

2.Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil; add potatoes. Boil 10-12 minutes, or until tender; drain. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil; cover to keep warm.

3.Coat the fish in flour; shake off any excess. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Cook fish 3-4 minutes, skin-side down, in batches, until the skin crisps. Turn fish; cook until cooked through. Serve fish with potatoes and salsa.
