Method
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 4 cm pieces. Boil them in 1.5 litres water with 1 tsp of the salt for 15 minutes, until a knife goes through easily.
Drain the potatoes and mash them smooth with 2 tbsp of the butter, the warm milk, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper powder. Keep covered.
Pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper. Sprinkle the rest of the salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the oil in a wide non-stick pan on medium-high flame. Place the fish in it and cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving, until a golden crust forms. Turn carefully and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the fish flakes easily. Take it out on a plate.
Lower the flame to medium. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds without letting it brown. Add the lemon juice and let it bubble for 1 minute, scraping the pan.
Turn the flame to low. Add the remaining 4 tbsp butter a piece at a time, stirring for about 2 minutes until it melts into a smooth, shiny sauce. Mix in the coriander leaves.
Put a mound of mashed potato on each plate, place a fish fillet on top and spoon the lemon garlic butter over it. Serve hot.
