Method

  1. Set the grill to high. Heat oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Fry garlic and mushrooms for about 3 mins until softened.
  2. Push the mixture to one side of the pan, add the fish, skinned-side down, season and cook for 3 mins.
  3. Sprinkle fish with the bread and cheese, add the tomato and spring onion to the pan, then put it under the grill, not too near the heat source, for about 5 mins, until the crumbs and cheese are browned. Sprinkle with parsley, if liked. (Not suitable for freezing).
