Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 190C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large bowl & a large non-stick frying pan

Make the chips

  • Leaving the skin on, cut the sweet potatoes into chunky chips. Place onto the lined baking tray. Toss with 2 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until golden

Build the Greek-style salad

  • Thinly slice the cucumber into 1/2cm half-moons. Cut the feta into 1cm cubes. Cut the tomatoes into 2cm wedges. Halve the olives. Thinly slice the peppers and onion
  • Add all to the large bowl
  • Add the sumac, oregano, juice from 1 lemon, 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch salt and pepper to the salad bowl and toss to combine

Sizzle the sea bream

  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Season both sides of the sea bream with salt and pepper
  • Once the pan is hot, add the sea bream, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins. Flip and cook for a further 6 mins, until cooked through. Cook in batches if needed

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Serve the sea bream, Greek-style salad and sweet potato chips onto plates
  • Cut the remaining lemon into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over the fish
