Instructions:

For the Fish:
- Score the snapper fillets on the skin side, ensuring to cut deep enough so that the fillets do not curl when frying.
- Season the fillets with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
- Heat a thin film of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the snapper fillets skin side down in the pan and cook until a golden crust forms.
- Flip the fillets and continue cooking until they are nicely browned on both sides.
- Once cooked, remove the fish from the pan and drain any excess oil.
- Arrange the cooked snapper fillets on a serving dish.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh watercress or a light green salad for added freshness and flavor.
-
For the Champ:
- Dice the baking potato into approximately 3cm cubes and boil them until they are soft and tender.
- Drain the boiled potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
- Once cooled, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
- Wash the spring onions and slice them thinly.
- In a saucepan, infuse the milk with the sliced spring onions by simmering them over low heat.
- Add the butter to the infused milk and spring onions, allowing the butter to melt and incorporate into the mixture.
- Pour the milk and spring onion mixture into the mashed potatoes, stirring well to combine.
- If desired, add more milk to achieve a smoother and creamier consistency for the champ.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Optional Serving:
- For an extra touch of elegance, scoop a generous portion of champ onto each serving plate before arranging the roast snapper fillets.
- This additional layer of creamy goodness will complement the flavors of the snapper beautifully.
