Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Dice the potatoes into 1cm cubes. Thinly slice the courgette into half-moons. Place both on a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 18-20 mins, until the potatoes are golden and cooked through.
  2. Make the sauce; finely dice the shallot. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat a medium saucepan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 3 mins. then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Add the passata, capers and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person). Season with sea salt and black pepper. Simmer for 7-8 mins, until thickened.
  3. Finely chop the parsley and almonds. Mix the almonds and nutritional yeast together in a bowl. After 20 mins of roasting, add the almond mix to the potatoes and stir to coat. Roast for another 3-5 mins, until the almonds are golden.
  4. Season the sea bass with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a large non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the sea bass and cook for 2-3 mins, per side, until cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
  5. Keeping the pan on the heat, add the spinach and cook for 1-2 mins, stirring until wilted.
  6. Stir the parsley through the potatoes, then spoon the caper tomato sauce onto plates. Top with the roasted veg, spinach and sea bass. Garnish with any remaining flaked almonds from the baking tray.
