Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Scrub the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized chunks. Slide the potatoes into a large pan and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and pop on the hob. Bring to the boil, then cover the pan with a lid and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 mins, till the potatoes are tender.

  • 2.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Trim the roots and top 3cm off the leeks. Slice a cross into the top of each leek to open them out and rinse out any grit. Slice the leeks on the angle into small, bite-sized pieces and scatter into a roasting tin. Trim the spring onions and also slice into bitesized pieces. Add to the leeks.

  • 3.

    Nestle the pollack fillets among the leeks and spring onions. Sprinkle over a generous pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil. Slide into the oven for 15 mins, till the fish is flaky and cooked through, and the leeks have softened.

  • 4.

    Meanwhile, peel the garlic clove and finely grate it into a bowl. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon and stir in 1 tsp olive oil.

  • 5.

    Drain the cooked potatoes and allow to steam dry in the colander for 1 min. Divide the potatoes between plates. Top with the roasted leeks and spring onions and add a fillet of pollack. Spoon over the garlic and lemon dressing and serve.
