Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil.

  3. When vegetables have about 10 minutes cook time remaining, pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales or bones. Dust fish with seasoned flour, shaking off excess as you go.
  4. Heat oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish, in batches, for 1–2 minutes each side, until just cooked through. Add butter to pan in the last 30 seconds of cook time and spoon over fish. Add more oil and butter to pan between batches, if needed.
  5. While fish is cooking, place asparagus in a medium, heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 2–3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain.
  6. Divide roast vegetables and asparagus between plates and top with panfried fish. Spoon over hollandaise sauce and squeeze over lemon juice.
