You'll need
  • 2 baking trays

Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut them into chips as thick as your finger (no need to peel them). Scatter the chips onto a baking tray. Drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then slide the chips into the hot oven and roast for 20 mins.

  • 2.

    Slice the tomatoes into thin wedges and arrange them on a second baking tray. Slide them onto the shelf below the sweet potato chips and roast for 20 mins, till soft and slightly caramelised.

  • 3.

    Pick the chervil leaves and pop them in a small bowl. Peel and finely chop or grate the garlic. Add the garlic to the chervil. Grate in the lemon zest and squeeze in the juice from 1 half. Pour in 1 tsp olive oil and add a little salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • 4.

    When the sweet potato chips have cooked for 20 mins, carefully turn them over. Return to the oven and roast for 15-20 mins, till golden.

  • 5.

    When the tomatoes have roasted for 20 mins, take them out of the oven and tip onto a chopping board. Roughly chop them into small pieces, then slide the tomatoes into the bowl of herbs and stir. This is your salsa.

  • 6.

    Pour 1 tbsp olive oil into a large frying pan and warm to a medium-high heat. Rub a pinch of salt and pepper into the pollack fillets. When the frying pan is hot, add the fish, skin-side down. Fry for 5 mins, till the skin is crispy, then carefully turn over and cook for 2 more mins, till the fish is cooked through.

  • 7.

    While the fish is cooking, tip the rocket into a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp olive oil and toss to dress the leaves.

  • 8.

    Pop the cooked fish onto a couple of plates and top with the roasted tomato salsa. Serve with the sweet potato chips and rocket salad on the side.
