½ cucumber, halved lengthways, seeds scooped out and sliced on an angle

1 red onion, halved and finely sliced

6 – 8 radishes, sliced

2 avocados, peeled and sliced

100g feta, crumbled

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C / 180 C fan.
  2. Cook Donegal Catch Breaded Whiting for 20 - 25 minutes until cooked through and piping hot.
  3. For the salad, mix the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon sea salt and mix together. Set aside.
  4. For the basil oil, pour a kettle of boiling water of the basil leaves then dunk them into iced water to cool them down straight away. Dry with kitchen paper and place into a small blender. Add the olive oil and blitz to combine then place into a bowl and set aside.
