Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9 / air fryer 190C
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Pull out a large non-stick frying pan, a large saucepan & a sieve
Get the wedges on
- Cut the potatoes into wedges and place onto the lined baking tray. Toss with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, turning halfway, until soft and golden
Prep & fry
- Trim the green beans. Pick the tarragon from the stalks and finely chop. Halve the lemon. Finely slice the shallot and garlic
- When the wedges have 10 mins remaining, season the sea bass with salt and pepper
- Heat the large non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the sea bass, skin-side down, and fry for 4 mins. Flip, then fry for a further 6 mins, until cooked through, then remove from the heat
Cook the greens
- Meanwhile, bring the large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Add the green beans and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Add the peas for the final minute
- Drain together, season with salt and pepper, then set aside and cover to keep warm
Simmer the sauce
- Reheat the saucepan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and shallot and cook for 4 mins, until softened
- Add the tarragon, cashew cream and stock powder. Stir to combine, bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce has thickened. Squeeze in the juice from half the lemon and season to taste
Plate up
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the sea bass onto plates, with the potato wedges, green beans and peas alongside
- Pour the lemon tarragon sauce over the fish. Garnish with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
