Ingredients

200g fresh sea bass fillets

1tsp rapeseed oil

1tsp unsalted butter

1 clove garlic, sliced

1 red chilli, sliced

1tsp flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

1 medium carrot, cut into noodles with a spiralizer

1 courgette, cut into noodles with a spiralizer

FOR THE ROMESCO SAUCE

40g blanched almonds

1 clove garlic, sliced

1tsp tomato purée

100g Melis roasted red peppers, drained

1tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1-2 tsp red wine vinegar

Method

To make the sauce, toast the blanched almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 4-5mins until golden.

Put into a food processor with half the garlic and pulse until roughly chopped. Add the tomato purée, roasted peppers, extra virgin olive oil, and vinegar to the food processor and blend until smooth. Thin with a 1-2tbsp cold water if you’d like and chill until needed.

Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the carrot and courgette noodles. Cook for 2mins then drain.

Pat the sea bass fillets dry with kitchen roll. Heat 1tsp of the oil and butter in a nonstick frying pan over a medium setting. When the butter starts to bubble, put the fillets in, skin-side down.

Cook the fillets for a couple of minutes, without moving them, until the edges are just starting to change colour. Add the garlic, chilli and parsley to the pan.

Gently flip the sea bass fillets and cook for a further 30 secs.

Divide the vegetable noodles between 2 plates and top with a fillet of the sea bass. Serve each plate topped with the chilli, garlic and parsley from the pan and a spoonful of the romesco sauce with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
