Ingredients

300 gram baby potatoes, sliced

200 gram green beans, trimmed

200 gram grape tomatoes, halved

1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives

4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, quartered

4 oak leaf lettuce leaves, torn

2 tablespoon plain flour

2 tablespoon cornflour

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

4 100g firm white fish fillets

vegetable oil, to shallow-fry

2 tablespoon bought french dressing

lemon wedges, to serve

Method

1.Cook potato and beans separately in boiling water until just tender. Drain well. Transfer potato and beans to a large bowl. Add tomato, olives, egg and lettuce. Set aside.

2.Meanwhile, combine flours with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Toss fish lightly in flour mixture, shaking oil excess. Pour oil into a large frying pan to 1cm deep. Heat over moderately high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing it). Shallow-fry fish, in 2 batches, for 2 minutes each side or until golden and cooked. Drain on paper towels.

3.Drizzle dressing over salad. Serve fish with salad and lemon wedges.

Drain; rinse under cold water.
