Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water for 15 minutes. Add the peas and cook for 3 more minutes, then drain and mash with the milk, half the butter and some salt – a few whole peas can stay.

  2. Pat the fish dry, season and fry in the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes a side, until just cooked and flaking.

  3. Take off the heat, add the rest of the butter, a little lemon juice and the chopped dill to the pan and spoon it over the fish.

  4. Serve with the mash and lemon wedges.
