Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the kumara (unpeeled) into 1cm wedges. Place the kumara wedges on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over the lemon pepper spice blend, season with a pinch of pepper and toss to coat. Roast on the top oven rack until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: Cut the kumara to the correct size so it cooks in the allocated time.
While the wedges are baking, roughly chop the tomato. Pick and finely chop the dill leaves.
In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients list), dill and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip the white fish fillets into the seasoned flour, followed by the egg and finally into the panko-Parmesan mixture. Set aside on a plate.
When the wedges have 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the crumbed fish and cook until golden and just cooked through, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the fish doesn't stick. TIP: The fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white.
While the fish is cooking, combine olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) and the balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Add the mixed salad leaves and tomato and season with a pinch of pepper. Toss to coat.
TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Divide the dill and Parmesan crumbed fish, lemon pepper kumara wedges and salad between plates. Serve with mayonnaise.
