Tip 1: As with roast potatoes you can cook wedges in a microwave oven on the pre-programmed jacket potato setting, just put in weight of potatoes and you may want to grill them a little browner at the end, but usually they are crispy enough. With a basic microwave cook on HIGH for 10 minutes check cooked not shrivelling up and place under a grill, turn to brown both sides.
Tip 2: Peas are a good alternative with a half portion of coleslaw.
Tip 3: Peas and grilled large tomatoes make another alternative. Add a slice of lemon on the fish to impress.
