Next, add a small amount of oil to a shallow pan over a medium-high heat and fry the fish for around 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Roast Cauliflower
This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You’ll find a lot of ready-made sauces that work perfectly with cauliflower, but it’s important to cook it first to make sure it’s perfectly al dente and not overcooked.
Ingredients
2 heads of cauliflower, trimmed
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped leeks
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp white wine
1 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, leaving a few to form a base for the baking dish, then rub the leaves to remove the outer layer of dirt. Then cut the cauliflower into small florets.
On a baking sheet, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil and roast for 10-15 minutes, until tender.
Next, add the leeks, butter and flour to a pan and fry, stirring constantly until they start to brown.
Once they have browned, add the wine, soy sauce, white wine vinegar, mustard and honey. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened, then whisk in the lemon juice.
Fold in the florets, then spread the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
