Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the tomatoes on to a baking sheet, rub with a little oil and some seasoning, then roast for 5 minutes until the skins are starting to split. Add the fish to the baking sheet, top with most of the lemon zest, some more seasoning and a little more oil. Roast for 8– 10 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
Step 2:
Meanwhile, cook the beans in a pan of boiling water for 3 minutes until just tender. Drain, then tip
into a food processor with the rest of the oil, the garlic, basil stalks, lemon juice and stock, then pulse to a thick, slightly rough purée. Season to taste.
Step 3:
Divide the tomatoes and bean mash between two plates, top with the fish, then scatter with the basil leaves and the remaining lemon zest to serve.
