Preparatio­n 20 minutes Cooking about 30 minutes Serves 4

800G CHARLOTTE POTATOES

2 TBSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, PLUS EXTRA TO DRIZZLE GENEROUS BUNCH LEMON THYME

100G BLACK OLIVES, PITTED

50G SALTED CAPERS, RINSED

200ML WHITE WINE

4 X 125G SEA BREAM FILLETS, SKINLESS

LEMON SLICES

1 Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) gas mark 6. Cut the potatoes lengthways into 5mm slices. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan and cook the potato slices until golden and nearly tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large, deep ovenproof dish.

2 Scatter the lemon thyme, olives and capers over the potatoes, then pour over the wine. Roast in the oven for 7 minutes, then carefully remove the dish from oven and lay on the fish fillets. Top the fish with lemon slices, drizzle with a little oil, and season with freshly ground black pepper.

3 Return to the oven and cook for a further 7-10 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Garnish with more fresh lemon thyme, if you like, and serve with green salad or vegetables.
