Cooking Steps

Roast the Butternut Squash
1

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

Place the butternut squash onto one side of a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out into a single layer.

Roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the courgette, then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways. Cut the tomatoes into 2cm chunks.

Zest the whole lemon. Juice one half and cut the other half into wedges.

Add the Veg
3

When the squash has roasted for 10 mins, remove from the oven and add the courgette and tomatoes to the other side of the tray.

Sprinkle with the dried basil, garlic and lemon juice. If needed, add a little more oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Return the tray to the top shelf of the oven and roast for the remaining time, until the veg has softened and charred slightly, 8-10 mins. 

Make the Pesto Drizzle
4

In a small bowl, mix the pesto with the olive oil and water (see pantry for both). Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the Sea Bream
5

Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the sea bream dry with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper.

Once hot, lay the fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 mins. To get crispy skin on the fish, don’t move it around when it’s cooking skin-side down. Turn over and cook on the other side for 1-2 mins more.

Remove from the heat and sprinkle over the lemon zest. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It’s cooked when opaque in the centre.

Serve
6

Divide the basil garlic vegetables between your plates and top with the lemon sea bream.

Drizzle over the pesto and garnish with a lemon wedge.
