Method

Scatter the potatoes and onion into a large roasting tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, season, then toss to coat. Dot with butter, then cook in the oven for 15 minutes at 190C/fan170C/gas5. Add the tomatoes, then return to the oven for 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, whizz the anchovy, garlic, lemon zest and parsley in a food processor with 3 tbsp of the olive oil to make a gremolata. Taste and season.
Mix the breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp oil and some seasoning. Top the potatoes with the fish fillets, lemon slices and sliced chilli, then scatter with the breadcrumbs.
Return to the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until the fish steaks are just cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden. Remove from the oven, top with the herby gremolata, then serve.
