Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Rinse the Jerusalem artichokes under a cold tap and give them a good scrub. Scrub the potatoes. Slice both the artichokes and the potatoes into bite-size chunks. Spread the chopped veg out in a large roasting tin and toss with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slide into the oven to roast for 40 mins, turning halfway, till tender and golden at the edges.

  • 2.

    While the potatoes and artichokes roast, pick the sage leaves off their stalks. Peel and thinly slice the garlic clove. Set aside.

  • 3.

    When the potatoes and artichokes have about 10 mins remaining, add the butter to a large frying pan. Pour in 1 tbsp oil and warm the pan to a medium-high heat. Season the haddock fillets with salt and pepper.

  • 4.

    When the pan is hot, add the haddock, skinside down. Fry for 3 mins. Scatter in the flaked almonds, sage leaves and sliced garlic and fry for a further 2 mins.

  • 5.

    When the fish has fried for 5 mins, use a fish slice or large spatula to carefully turn the fillets over. Cook for a further 1-2 mins, till the fish is flaky and cooked through. Squeeze over the juice from half of the lemon.

  • 6.

    Pop the rocket into a bowl. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lemon half and toss to dress the leaves. Divide the haddock and roasted veg between a couple of plates. Top with the almonds, sage and butter sauce, and serve with the lemony rocket salad on the side.
