    Ingredients

    • 8 red mullet fillets, about 100g each
    • tarragon leaves, roughly chopped
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 100g diced pancetta
    • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

    Method

    • Preheat the oven to 240C.

    • Heat a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta and garlic for 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

    • Add the red onion and balsamic vinegar and cook for a further 2 minutes.

    • Place the red mullet fillets in a single layer on top of the cooked pancetta. Drizzle with the cooked pancetta sauce.

    • Scatter over the tarragon, drizzle over the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

    • Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through but still moist inside.

    • Transfer to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve on a bed of wilted spinach or other greens.
