Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the squash in a large bowl and pat dry with kitchen paper. Add 1 tbsp flour and season lightly; toss to coat the squash. Dust off any excess flour and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil. Arrange in an even layer on a nonstick baking tray, then roast for 25-30 mins, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Put the fish on a lightly oiled baking tray; transfer to the top shelf of the oven for 5 mins to defrost slightly.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining flour with the parsley and lemon zest in a shallow bowl; season. Drain the water from the fish and pat dry with kitchen paper, then gently coat in the herby flour.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the fish for 10 mins, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through.
- Boil the peas for 3 mins; drain and return to the pan. Add ½ tbsp oil, the mint and a squeeze of lemon juice, then lightly mash; season to taste. Serve with the fish and butternut chips, plus extra lemon wedges.
