Pancetta and Herb Whiting

Serving size: Serves 4

Cooking time: Less than 60 minutes

INGREDIENTS
8 King George Whiting fillets
½ cup chopped mixed herbs (basil, parsley, mint)
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
16 slices pancetta
500g potatoes, chopped into 2cm chunks
40g butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice, extra
steamed green beans or salad, to serve

METHOD
Preheat oven to 160°C (180°C fan-forced).
Brush one side of each whiting fillet with combined herbs, capers, zest, juice, oil and salt and pepper and place
another fillet on top to sandwich the filling. Wrap fillets in 2 slices of pancetta and arrange in a baking dish. Drizzlewith any remaining herb oil.
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes or until just cooked through.
Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until just tender. Drain and return to same saucepan that they cooked in.
Place over high heat and add butter and extra lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally until potatoes start to crisp up and have absorbed the lemon juice and butter.
Serve whiting with any pan juices poured over them, crisped
