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.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 190C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve & a large frying pan

Get the potatoes into the oven

  • Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes
  • Place on the lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 20-25 mins / air fryer 18-20 mins, turning once, until soft and golden

Cook the broccoli

  • Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and finely chop. Trim and halve the broccoli
  • When the potatoes have 10 mins left, add the broccoli to the saucepan and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked
  • Add the peas and samphire in the final 2-3 mins of cooking, then drain together

Get sizzlin'

  • Meanwhile, season the sea bass with salt and pepper
  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Place the sea bass skin side down and fry for 4 mins, flip and fry for a further 5 mins
  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Squeeze over the juice from the lemon to taste

Last bits & plate up

  • Stir the boiled greens, chopped mint and garlic herb paste together through the cooked potatoes on the baking tray. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Serve on plates and top with the sea bass and flaked almonds
  • Serve any remaining lemon on the side, cut into wedges
