Method


  1. Heat half of the oil in a pan and gently fry the pepper, onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until softened, then stir in the chilli flakes.

  2. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half, then stir in the cream and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the basil.

  3. Heat the remaining oil in a pan, season the fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp. Turn the fish over and fry for a further 1-2 minutes, or until the fish is golden-brown all over and cooked through.

  4. To serve, spoon the pepper, chilli and basil cream onto a serving plate and place the fish on top.
