Serving size: 2 people

Ingredients

2 Sea Bass Fillets (250g each)

200g Irish Baby Potatoes

120g Green Beans

100g Cherry Tomatoes

50 ml Olive Oil

10g Fresh Dill

10g Fresh Chives

1 Lemon

1 Lime

To make accompanying Cheese Sauce:

100g Mature White Cheddar Cheese

100g Fresh Cauliflower

100ml Fresh Cream

50g Butter

Pinch of Sea Salt

Pinch of Black pepper

 

Cooking Method

  1. Take your sea bass fillets, cut them in half and sear the skin.
  2. Marinate the sea bass fillets for 10 minutes with sea salt seasoning, lemon and lime juice.
  3. Boil up your vegetables – baby boiled potatoes for 15 minutes in 1ltr of water with a pinch of salt and small bit of oil, and green beans in a separate pot for 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare the cheese sauce.
    • Take a saucepan and add butter and melt.
    • Add your cauliflower and fresh cream.
    • Let it boil slowly over a low heat. Add salt and pepper seasoning.
    • Add in your cheese.
    • Heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until you have a nice creamy smooth cheese sauce.
  5. Take a large pan and add butter and melt.
  6. Cook your sea bass fillets in the butter over a medium heat – three minutes each side. You want to have the fillets crispy on each side, and nice and juicy inside.
  7. In a second frying pan, add some olive oil and heat up the pan until it is nice and hot. Add in your baby boiled potatoes (sliced in half), your green beans and your cherry tomatoes (again sliced in half). Add lemon and lime juice and seasoning. Sauté all together for about three or four minutes.

 

Plating

  • Place your cheese sauce first on your plate.
  • Next place your sautéed vegetables on top.
  • Lastly place your sea bass fillet on top.
  • Garnish your dish with a lemon wedge, a pinch of chopped chives, and a leaf of fresh dill.
