Ingredients

  1. 600g flathead portions
  2. 800g baby potatoes, halved
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  5. 1 teaspoon sea salt
  6. ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  7. 1 lemon, cut into wedges (to serve)
  8. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  9. Optional: tartare sauce or aioli for dipping

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 210°C. Steam the halved potatoes for 10 minutes or until just tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer the potatoes to a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Using a fork, press down lightly in the center of each potato to flatten and crumble slightly. Add the garlic, sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy and golden.
  3. Toss the fish in a little flour, salt, and pepper, shaking off any excess. Heat a non-stick frying pan with a little olive oil and cook the fish in batches for 4 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  4. Sprinkle the chives over the potatoes. Serve immediately with the fish. Add steamed vegetables and lemon wedges, if desired.

Chef's Tip

Flathead is naturally light and delicate, so it benefits from crisp textures and simple seasoning rather than heavy sauces. A light flour coating helps create a golden crust while keeping the fish moist and flaky in the center. Crispy potatoes, fresh lemon, and herbs bring balance and freshness, turning this into the kind of classic seafood meal that never goes out of style.
