    1 In a saucepan, bring 3 cups cold water to the boil over a high heat. Add polenta and milk, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes, or until polenta is thick. Stir through parmesan. Cover to keep warm.

    2 Meanwhile, in a large, non-stick frying pan, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high. Sauté onion and garlic for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add tomatoes and capers, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until tomatoes start to soften. Fold in spinach, stir through basil, reserving some for garnish, and transfer to a bowl.

    3 Wipe pan clean. Heat remaining oil over medium-high. Cook fish for 5 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.

    4 To serve, divide among 4 plates, with polenta and tomato mixture on the side. Season with pepper and garnish with reserved basil.
