    1 Heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Combine the fennel, red onion, squash, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, ground turmeric and 5 tablespoons water in a large heavy-based baking dish. Season with freshly ground black pepper, then bake for 30–35 min until tender.

    2 Meanwhile, make the pistachio crumb: combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and season with freshly ground black pepper. Put the fish on the prepared baking tray and press the crumb evenly over the fillets.

    3 Bake the fish alongside the veg for 15–20 min or until it’s cooked through and golden. Carefully transfer the fish to serving plates. Add the rocket to the vegetables in the baking dish, toss well to combine and serve with the fish.

    HFG tip

    For an extra 9g carbs per serving: add 1 cup of kumara, peeled and sliced, to the vegetables before baking.
