Pan-Fried Bream
with Crushed New Potatoes and Sweet Tomato Salsa
Now here's a dish to bring the sunshine! It's British Tomato Week so take a moment to appreciate the beautiful little number from our friends at The Tomato Stall which have been grown on the Isle Of Wight. A little honey in the dressing really brings out their sweetness. Cook the fish at the end, when everything else is ready so it will have perfect crispy skin and pearly flesh. Enjoy!
