  4. Place bok choy and broccoli in a large, heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain well. Combine Asian fish spice, flour and salt on a small plate or shallow dish.
  5. Pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales and bones. Dust fish in flour mix and shake off excess. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large fry-pan (preferably nonstick) on medium to high heat.
  6. Cook fish for 1–2 minutes each side or until golden and just cooked. Add more oil if necessary. Place cooked kumara in a medium bowl with butter (if using) and gently crush with a potato masher or fork.
