Grilled fish with Baked Potatoes and Red Cabbage Salad

A great dinner option is something light but filling. It is also quite easy to make.

For the potatoes:
Potatoes sliced. Toss it in some olive oil, salt, pepper, and chilli flakes. Bake for about 40 minutes at 200 deg C. Around the half way mark, flip it around for an even texture.

While that is getting ready you can prepare the other two items.

For the salad:
1 small red cabbage
2 onions
A splash of vinegar
1 tbsp honey
Some oilive oil
(Boiled corn kernels optional)

Heat up the oil and add the onions. Stir till they start to get a little color, then add the cabbage. Cook till soft...about 5 minutes. Then add the vinegar and honey and cook till the liquid evaporates. Set aside to cool.

For the fish:
Fish fillet
Olive oil to coat
Salt / pepper to taste
Breadcrumbs
Cornflour to coat (only if required to soak up moisture)

You can marinate the fish in oil, salt & pepper for an hour or so but if you haven't had the time, it doesn't matter. Just coat the fillets with oil and seasoning, and dip it in a plate of breadcrumbs and press it so that it is evenly covered on both sides. If you feel that there is excess water, then coat the fillet with some cornflour before the breadcrumb layer. I didn't need to use any extra oil to grill it.

The whole process took me less than an hour!
