Method
step 1
To make the quick pickled veg, whisk together the white wine vinegar, caster sugar, chopped dill and some seasoning. Add the cucumber and carrot, and toss well.
step 2
Put the chopped beetroot, quark, yogurt, lemon juice and some seasoning into the bowl of a food processor and whizz until smooth.
step 3
Coat the fish fillets in the vegetable oil, season well and cover just the flesh side of the fish with the coriander seeds. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the fish skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is very crisp, then turn the fish and cook for 30 seconds.
step 4
Serve the blitzed beetroot spooned onto the plate, the fish on top, with the drained pickled veg.
