  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • water
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Boil the potatoes until just tender, about 15 minutes; slice 1/2 inch thick.

  3. Spray a large baking dish and lay fillets on the bottom, leaving room between the fillets and around the edge of the dish.

  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and squeeze lemon juice on top.

  5. Drizzle the olive oil and add enough water to the pan to come halfway up the thickness of the fish.

  6. Scatter the potato slices and the whole cherry tomatoes along the edge of the baking dish and sprinkle the basil leaves on top.

  7. Cover with parchment paper or foil and bake 15-20 minutes.

  8. Remove from the oven and brush the fish with mustard and sprinkle lightly with cornflakes.

  9. Place under the broiler for 20 seconds so the crumbs get crunchy, but not burned.
