Balkan-inspired comfort food: tender pike fillet paired with sweet potato and swiss chard and yam, finished with shiso leaf and lovage and a hit of cumin and paprika. 1. Pat the pike fillet dry and season with salt, cumin and paprika. 2. Heat margarine in a heavy pan and roast the pike fillet until it develops a deep golden crust, about 12 minutes. 3. Add sweet potato and swiss chard to the pan and cook until just tender, stirring in shiso leaf and lovage for fragrance. 4. Cook the yam separately according to type until tender, then combine with the pan juices. 5. Rest briefly, taste, and adjust seasoning before serving hot.
