Step:

  1. Bring the whole baby potatoes to boil in a salted water, just enough to cover the potatoes

  2. Boil for 15 minutes until fork tender

  3. Meanwhile make the sauce by putting the apricots, their stones and chopped ginger into another saucepan with the lemon juice and water - the stones contain pectin and help thicken the sauce naturally

  4. Cover and simmer on a low heat for around 15 minutes until very soft

  5. Remove the stones, let the mixture cool for 5 minutes then puree smooth with an immersion blender or liquidiser

  8. Drain the potatoes and season with a sprinkling of salt and a knob of butter - I use Stork gold-foil margarine as it's dairy and soy free

  9. Serve the fish with the sauce, a garden salad and the new potatoes
