Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Fish Fillets

  1. 1

    Sauté the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Add the fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Parsley

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Return the fish fillets to the skillet, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and keep warm.

Making the Clam Sauce

  1. 3

    Cook the Clams

    In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cleaned clams and white wine. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up. Discard any clams that do not open.

  2. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the clam sauce over the sautéed fish fillets.

Preparing the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain the potatoes.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 7

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, serve the sautéed fish fillets topped with clam sauce, a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, and a portion of sautéed vegetables. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
