Sprinkle each fillet with walnut crumble. Return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

    3 To make dressing, in a blender, place 5 cups of the rocket with garlic, lemon juice, oil, almonds and ¼ cup water and blend (add a little more water to thin, if needed). Season to taste.

    4 In a bowl, combine capsicum, spring onions, tomatoes and potatoes. Drizzle over dressing.

    5 Serve fish with potato salad, remaining rocket and balsamic vinegar.
