METHODS
Prep: 25–30 mins | Cook: 45 mins | Serves 4
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Cook peas in salted water (for 1 minute, or until just soft) until tender and then run under cold water so they don’t overcook. Put butter in pan and add beans (peas) – warm only and then roughly mash. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat oil in non-stick fry pan, season fish and cook skin side down on high heat until crisp and brown (3 minutes on skin side, 2 minutes on flesh side).
MAYONNAISE
Roast capsicum in oven on 200°C (for 40 minutes), or until soft and browned (on the outside). Cover and let stand to cool peel and remove seeds and roughly chop flesh.
Place egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice in food processor process until all ingredients well combined. Add oil slowly in whilst the processor is on. Add capsicum, blend and season well.
