Notes

TIPS: You can use any firm white fish fillets for this recipe. To deseed the tomato, cut it into wedges and use a small spoon to scoop out the pulp and seeds. Add it: 1 long fresh red chilli (finely chopped) in Step 1. Swap it: Fish for skinless lean chicken breast fillets (fat trimmed, halved).
