Red mullet with patatas bravas
Crisp, golden potatoes are served with a spicy sauce made fierce (bravas) with chilli and paprika - the perfect match for red mullet.

Ingredients (9)

  • 600g desiree potatoes, peeled, cut into 1.5cm cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil, plus extra for fish
  • 1 small onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • Pinch of dried chilli flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (pimenton)
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 12 small (50g each) red mullet fillets
  • Flat-leaf parsley leaves, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Cook potato in simmering salted water for 8-10 minutes until just tender. Drain well, then cool and dry on paper towel.
  • 2.
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick frypan over medium-low heat and cook onion for about 5 minutes or until soft. Add garlic, chilli, paprika and tomatoes, and cook for 10 minutes or until thickened.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another frypan over medium heat. Fry potato for 5-8 minutes until golden and crisp. Keep warm while you quickly cook mullet in a little extra oil, in batches if necessary, for 30 seconds on each side or until skin is crisp and fish is just cooked.
  • 4.
    Toss potato with sea salt, and arrange fish on potatoes. Spoon over sauce, scatter with parsley and serve at once.
