Method
- 1Preheat Oven 200C (400F).

- 3Meanwhile place rinsed white beans in a processer with an extra clove garlic, sour cream, lemon and season with S&P. Blend until smooth. Taste, add more lemon or garlic to taste. Once you are happy with it place in a small bowl and set aside.
- 4Heat a non-stick frypan, add olive oil and cook fish on 1 side for 2 minutes then turn and grill for 1 more minute. Then place on a tray lined with baking paper, cover with foil and bake in oven for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of fish.
- 5While fish is cooking take your baked tomatoes and garlic out of oven. Place half the tomatoes in a blender (or you can use stick processer) with lemon juice, basil leaves, milk. Peel skin off garlic, squeeze with other ingredients. Now blend until all smooth. Taste; add more lemon if needed and season with S&P. Place in a small pot and heat on stove on low. Once warmed, add cornflour mixture and stir, this should thicken. If you like a thin sauce then omit the cornflour step.

- 7Set up 2 plates, divide Puree onto plates. If you want you can warm this first in microwave. Place Fish on top then drizzle sauce over and place remaining cooked cherry tomatoes.
