Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount).

Trim the courgette, then cut into roughly 1cm chunks. Cut the tomatoes into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).

Pop the lemon zest into a large bowl with the olive oil for the marinade (see pantry for amount) and season. Add the basa to the bowl of marinade. Turn to coat, then set aside. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3-4 mins.

Pour in the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount), then stir in the veg stock paste and bring to the boil.

Stir in the bulgur, bring back up to the boil and simmer for 1 min.

Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve. 

Once the bulgur has been set aside, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins total. Turn only every couple of mins.

Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl.

While the courgette chars, pop the olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount) into a small bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and half the parsley.

Season with salt and pepper, mix well and set your dressing aside.

Pop your (now empty) frying pan on medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil. 

Once hot, carefully place your marinated basa into the pan. Spoon over the remaining oil from the bowl. 

Cook the basa until golden, 6-8 mins. Gently turn halfway through and adjust the heat if needed. Once cooked, remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

When everything's ready, fluff up the bulgur with a fork and stir through the tomatoes, charred courgette, remaining parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if needed.

Share the bulgur between your plates, then top with the basa.

Drizzle over the herby dressing to finish.
