Ingredients
- 2 red snapper fillets (approx. 180g / 6oz each)
- 150g (5oz) oyster mushrooms, torn into pieces
- 300g (10oz) fingerling potatoes, halved lengthways
- 200g (7oz) asparagus, woody ends snapped off
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and black pepper to taste
1. For the fingerling potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F. Toss the halved fingerling potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and black pepper on a large baking tray. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes until beginning to turn golden.
2. For the mushrooms and asparagus: After 20 minutes, push the potatoes to the sides of the tray. Scatter the oyster mushrooms and asparagus into the centre. Drizzle with another 1 tbsp olive oil, scatter over the sliced garlic and dried herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Return the tray to the oven for 8 minutes.
3. For the red snapper: While the vegetables continue roasting, pat the snapper fillets dry with kitchen paper. Season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper. Rub with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and squeeze over half the lemon juice.
4. Lay the snapper fillets skin-side up directly on top of the vegetables in the centre of the tray. Bake for a further 12 minutes, or until the skin is lightly golden and the flesh flakes easily when pressed. The potatoes should be fully tender and the asparagus just tender with a little bite.
5. Remove from the oven, squeeze over the remaining lemon juice and serve immediately straight from the tray.
