Baked Sea Bass with Peppers and Pine nuts

Print Recipe
You should be able to find sea bass fillets in any supermarket or fish shop. They make a healthy low-carb meal and only take a few minutes to cook. If you feel a bit nervous about cooking fish, this is a great recipe to start with as everything gets chucked onto a tray and baked in oven, so there are no tricky methods or timings. Use sea bream instead of sea bass if you like

Ingredients

  • 4 sea bass fillets (each around 150g)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ground black pepper

For the Stuffing

  • 25 g pine nuts
  • 6 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 20 basil leaves, (roughly 10g), shredded
  • finely grated zest of ½ lemon
  • 50 g dried coarse white breadcrumbs (or panko breadcrumbs)
  • 170 g roasted peppers in oil (from a jar), drained well in a sieve
  • pinch of flaked sea salt
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  • To make the stuffing, first toast the pine nuts in a large non-stick frying pan for 3–4 minutes, turning regularly or until lightly browned. Tip them into a large bowl and add the spring onions, garlic, basil, lemon zest and breadcrumbs.
  • Put the peppers on a board and chop them into roughly 2cm pieces, if not already chopped. Add to the pine nut mixture, season with a pinch of salt and lots of black pepper and stir well. Preheat the oven to 220°C/Fan200°C/Gas 7.
  • Slash each fish fillet 3-4 times with a knife through the skin. Spoon the pepper mixture onto a large baking tray in four piles and spread until roughly the size of a sea bass fillet.
  • Place a fish fillet on top of each pile of stuffing and tuck any loose bits of stuffing underneath so it doesn't burn. Drizzle the fish with the lemon juice and the olive oil. Season with black pepper and bake for 15 minutes or until the fish is lightly browned and cooked through and the stuffing is hot. The fish is cooked when the flesh feels soft when pressed with your finger towards the head – the thickest part.

Using a few ingredients you can create an easy war Using a few ingredients you can create an easy warm salad that's just right for this in-between weather.  Toss chickpeas, cubes of squash and cauliflower with a little olive oil and spices (I use a combination of cumin, coriander and chilli), scatter onto a tray and bake in a hot oven until lightly roasted. Toss with baby spinach and roasted peppers from a jar, before drizzling with a simple yoghurt dressing.⁠

I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe fr I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe from my book ‘Quick and Easy’ because I don't need any scales – just a small yoghurt pot for all my measuring. They’re deliciously light and very simple to make – the key is to have your pan nice and hot before adding the batter. (You can swipe for the recipe – I’ve included the weights and measures in case you are using a larger 500g pot of yoghurt.)
