Photography by Aaron McLean.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
Fish
500 grams snapper fillets or other firm white fish
10 green olives pitted and finely chopped
finely grated zest 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
½ cup panko crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
olive oil for cooking
Mayonnaise
2 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and roughly chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
juice 1 lemon
salad leaves to serve
METHOD
Fish: Cut the snapper into 5 cm pieces. Combine the olives, lemon zest, parsley and panko crumbs in a bowl with a good grind of pepper.
Put the egg in a separate dish and season. Dip the fish pieces in the egg then in the crumb mixture, pressing it on gently to adhere and set aside until ready to cook.
Mayonnaise: Combine the chopped egg, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a bowl and season generously.
To cook: Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick sauté pan and cook the fish for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and just cooked through. Drain on kitchen towels.
To serve: Place the fish on plates and serve with the egg mayonnaise and salad leaves.
Pantry note:
Panko crumbs: These flakey Japanese dried bread crumbs create a deliciously crunchy crust. They are readily available from good supermarkets or Asian food stores.

Issue 115 is packed with inspiration for all kinds of cosy meals – whether you’re dining alone, as two or with a few. We start with our Plating Game interview with Jesse Mulligan which inspired a medley of curries and sides then move on to a round up of easy one-pan chicken dishes, a variety of pasta bakes and meatballs, and using one simple yet delicious tart base we whip up five fab filling options. Sarah’s wintry faves include a moreish chorizo (not) carbonara, lamb and spinach filo pie and we finish off with sweet treats and decadent puds. We love seeing what you create, don’t forget to share your dish dishes with our Facebook community. When it comes to winter cooking, make it SIMPLY YUM!
