Method

Preheat oven to 220ºC (200ºC fan) mark 7; put in a non-stick baking sheet to heat up. Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Parboil chips for 5min. Drain; leave to steam-dry in colander for 2min. Spread in one layer on baking sheet; spray with oil. Cook for 30min, turning once and spraying once more with oil.

Preheat grill to medium. In a pestle and mortar, crush coriander and chilli flakes. Stir into breadcrumbs; add lemon zest; season.

On three separate plates, lay out flour, egg and breadcrumb mix. Dip a fish fillet into flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Repeat with remaining fillets. Spray lightly with oil and grill for 4-5min per side.

Cook peas with the mint stalks in a pan of lightly salted boiling water. Drain; remove stalks; mash roughly. Stir in chopped mint and crème fraîche. Serve fish with peas, chips, a lemon wedge and tomato ketchup.
