Preparation steps

1.
First make the mash. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook the potatoes in the water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and leave to cool for a few minutes. Pass through a potato ricer into a bowl. Add the melted butter and seasoning and mix well until the butter is incorporated fully. Set to one side.
2.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until hot. Pan-fry the red mullet fillets on their skin side to begin with. When flesh is starting to turn opaque; turn the fillets and cook for a further minute on the flesh side.
3.
Meanwhile, combine the sliced olives, rosemary, white wine vinegar, red pepper, capers and seasoning in a mixing bowl, stirring well.
4.
Re-heat the mashed potato if necessary in a microwave before spooning onto serving plates. Spoon some of the olive salad on top and top with the red mullet fillets. Serve immediately.
