Notes
Fresh and flavour-packed herbs complement the lean and nutritious protein choice of fish! Perch or snapper work well though choose your preferred type.

Although mild, leave the chilli out if you're not a fan.

This recipe is delicious alone and even better when served with wedges, potato or sweet potato fries.
