1. Before you start Preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). Line an oven tray with baking paper and drizzle with oil.

4. Bake the fish When the potatoes have been cooking for 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and top with the pieces of fish. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the fish and return the tray to the oven to cook for a further 8–10 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through, the crumb is golden and the potato is tender.

5. Meanwhile, make the slaw Grate the beetroot. Combine the slaw ingredients together in a bowl and toss to combine.
