Frantic fish dish

Bought a Trevelly Roast at the Victoria Market this morning. By the time I had got home after work that evening, inspiration on what to do with it was somewhat lacking! So after a quick cruise around the garden this was the result.
"Parsley, Yes that will do, and what about some rocket ,after all no shortage of that in the garden at present!. Garlic chives, why not!'
(Back in the kitchen) " Why don't I puree those with a handful of almonds, some olive oil, a dash of chillies preserved in oil, a few cloves of garlic, salt and pepper. A sort of 'pesto' with a twist! now lets smear the mix all over the fish, wrap in foil, bake and see what happens"
(Accompaniments) "While we are at it boil up some of the Jerusalem artichokes we dug up last week and then puree them with the last of the pumpkin, a different slant on 'bubble and squeak'. Now how about the remaining brussel sprouts simmered in white miso"


Results: Cooked the brussel sprouts for too long, puree was very tasty, and the fish was very good if a little overcooked, 30 mins at 170 degrees C would have been enough.
