Method:

• Finely slice the vegetables for the crunchy salad and mix in a bowl with the olive oil, vinegar, pomegranate, a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Set aside.

• Place the polenta on one plate with some seasoning and the beaten egg on another.

• Cut the fish into strips, then dip the fish in the egg then the polenta and set aside on a clean plate.

• Heat the coconut oil in a non stick pan and gently fry the fish for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked.

• Mix the yoghurt with the chopped parsley and some freshly ground pepper.

• Serve the fish with the crunchy slaw and a lemon wedge
  

* As an alternative if serving to kids - mix 100g yoghurt with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve with a corn, tomato and cucumber salsa (1/4 cucumber, 50g tomatoes, 50g tinned sweetcorn)

** People are often put off by fish as it is sometimes overcooked. Don’t be tempted to cook it for too long.
