Pan Seared Fish with White Bean Mash

Here’s something quick and easy for your dinner tonight! Pan Seared Fish with White Bean Mash is a simple Pan Seared Fish dish cooked in bacon oil then served in a white bean mash infused with garlic.

It’s one of the easiest dishes you can ever make, with fish that cooks in a jiffy plus the use of canned cannellini beans, preparing this won’t take more than 15 minutes of your time. Having said that, the result of this is nothing to be ashamed off, simple does not mean flavour has to suffer, with the fish cooked in bacon oil with the help of melted butter, there a lot on offer here. The white bean mash works its magic as well, creamy, slightly zesty which complements that fish really well, but if you want other types of protein, you can use it on pork, beef or chicken too!
