Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the grill to high (240C)
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Pull out a large bowl, a medium bowl, a sieve & a grater

Boil the potatoes

  • Peel and roughly cut the potatoes into 3cm chunks, then add to the saucepan of boiling water. Simmer for 14-16 mins, until soft, then drain. Return to the pan and allow to cool

Meanwhile; prep the salad

  • Zest and halve the lemon. Thinly slice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the chives. Roughly chop the olives. Trim and cut the bean into thirds
  • In the large bowl, combine the juice of half of the lemon with half of the slice onion and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle

Cook the sea bass

  • Lay the sea bass, skin-side up, onto one side of the lined tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, season with salt, then rub with the lemon zest and olives. Sprinkle over the remaining onion. Add the green beans to the other side of the tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt
  • Grill for 10-11 mins, until golden and cooked through

Assemble the salad

  • Once cooked toss the yoghurt, mustard & chives though the potatoes and season with salt and pepper
  • When everything's ready, add the tomatoes, salad and cooked beans to the pickled onion bowl, along with 1 tsp olive oil. Toss and season with salt and pepper

Finish & plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Share the sea bass between plates, with the salad and potato salad alongside. Garnish with any remaining lemon, cut into wedges
