Steps:

• Wipe the whitefish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, safflower oil and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fillets and let sit for an hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thin, using a food processor if you like. Arrange them in a shallow baking dish that will hold the fillets comfortably in one layer. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and dot with butter. You may need to make two layers or more of potato.
• Add the onion and half of the creme fraiche, spreading it over the potatoes, just enough to moisten. Sprinkle with paprika, cover and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and spread the fillets over the top. Pour the rest of the cream evenly over the fillets. Bake, uncovered, until the fish flakes with a fork, and the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and cook for 50 mins-1 hr or until the flesh is soft (or in the microwave on high for 5-7 mins). Remove the skin and mash the flesh with 2 tbsp of the oil, the cumin and paprika. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with the remaining 1 tbsp oil, and cook the onions and peppers over a medium heat until soft, about 7 mins. Warm the milk in a pan over a low-medium heat and add the fish pie mix and the prawns. Cook for 4 mins until the prawns have just turned pink, then scoop out the fish and prawns. Reserve the milk.
• Add the harissa paste to the onions and peppers and cook for 2 mins. Stir through the cornflour, then add the reserved milk bit by bit, stirring as you go, followed by the cream. Add the spinach and cook for 2 mins until it softens, then add the fish and prawns, stirring carefully to avoid breaking them up.
• Pour the fish mixture into an ovenproof dish, approximately 25 x 18cm. Carefully spoon the sweet potato on top, going from end- to-end and meeting in the middle. Carefully spread out with a knife, then go over it with a fork to make ridges. Bake for 20 mins, then grill for 10 mins on the hottest setting. Serve with the green beans.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes and swede in boiling water until tender (about 20 minutes).
• Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C.While the potatoes and swede cook, put the soft cheese and stock into a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring with a wooden spoon, until blended and smooth. Now add the blended cornflour and cook until thick.
• Stir the fish into the sauce with the prawns and parsley. Season with some pepper.
• Tip the mixture into a 1.5 litre/2¾ pint baking dish. Drain the potatoes and swede, mash them well and season with black pepper. Spoon the mash over the fish to cover it completely. Bake for 25-30 minutes until piping hot, then transfer to a hot grill for a few minutes to brown the top. Serve with frozen peas or sweetcorn.
