Instructions

Cook the Chips
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Spread the chips on a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle over the dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

Get Prepped
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the lemon.

Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees), halving any large ones.

Pop the florets onto another large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

If you'd prefer to boil your broccoli, boil it in step 4 while the fish fries for 3-5 mins, until tender.

Broccoli Time
3

When the chips have roasted for 15-20 mins, pop the broccoli onto the middle shelf of the oven.

Roast until the edges are crispy and slightly charred, 12-15 mins.

When the chips have 10 mins remaining, pat the sea bass dry with kitchen paper. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle over the lemon & herb seasoning.

Fish to Fry
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, carefully place your sea bass into the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 mins before turning over and cooking for 2-3 mins on the other side. TIP: To get crispy skin on the fish, don't move it around when it's cooking skin-side down. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.

Baste the Bass
5

Once the fish is cooked, add the butter (see pantry for amount) and garlic to the pan.

Once melted, spoon the garlic butter over the fish for 1-2 mins. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

Serve Up
6

Share the sea bass between your plates. Serve the roasted broccoli and chips alongside. 

Add a dollop of mayo (see pantry for amount) for dipping.

Spoon any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the fish. Serve with the remaining lemon cut into wedges for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
