Instructions
Roast veggies
Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). Bring a steamer pot of water to a boil. Set aside a baking dish. Peel and dice potatoes, carrot and parsnip into 2cm cubes. Add to the steamer pot of boiling water and cook for 15-20 mins, until very tender. Drain water and add veggies to the empty pot with milk and oil. Mash until smooth and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook leek
Cut the leek in half lengthways and thinly slice. Heat oil in a frypan on medium-high. Cook leek with Moroccan seasoning and a pinch of salt for about 5 mins, until tender. Add stock and simmer for about 3-4 mins, until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and fold through sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bake fish
Pat the fish dry and remove any remaining scales and bones. Cut any larger fillets in half and place them in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and pour sauce evenly over the fish. Zest lemon then cut it into wedges. Set wedges aside to serve. Combine lemon zest, breadcrumbs, oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Sprinkle over fish and sauce. Bake for 8-10 mins, until fish is cooked and breadcrumbs are golden.
To serve
Divide the mash between plates. Top with fish and serve lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
