Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
  2. Toss kumara with oil on first prepared tray and season. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Turn once during cooking.
  3. While kumara is cooking, grate courgette and cut broccoli into small florets then roughly dice 2cm. Dice stalk 1cm. Bring water and salt to the boil in a small pot (with a lid) on high heat. Add broccoli to pot and cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
  4. Pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales or bones. Cut any larger fillets in half and place on second prepared tray. Spread lightly with first measure of yoghurt. Finely chop coriander and add to a small bowl with all remaining orange and sunflower baked fish ingredients. Evenly sprinkle mixture over fish and season.
  5. Add peas and courgette to pot with broccoli, stir, cover and cook a further 3 minutes, until soft. If veggies stick, add a splash of water. Remove from heat and leave to steam for 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid (if needed) and roughly smash with a fork or masher. Season to taste. Cover to keep warm.
  6. When kumara has about 7 minutes cook time remaining, cook fish (on rack above kumara) for 5-7 minutes (depending on thickness), until cooked through.
  7. In a small bowl, combine all orange yoghurt ingredients and season. Cut orange into wedges.
  8. divide kumara and orange and sunflower baked fish and smashed super greens between plates. Sprinkle over smoked paprika sumac, if desired. Dollop over orange yoghurt and garnish with a wedge of orange.
