Sweet chilli fish with mash & beans FAQ:
Bake the white fish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
The white fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with milk, half-and-half, or a dairy-free milk alternative. If using a lighter milk, the mash may be less creamy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat fish gently in the oven to maintain texture.
Suitable white fish options include cod, tilapia, haddock, or snapper. Choose a fish that is fresh and flaky for the best results.
Cooking Tips:
- Choose a firm white fish like cod or haddock to ensure it holds its shape while cooking.
- For extra creamy mashed potatoes, ensure both the cream and milk are warm before adding them to the potatoes.
- Blanch the green beans quickly to retain their bright color and crisp texture.
- Adjust the heat of the dish by using more or fewer chili peppers according to your taste.
