  1. Boil a kettle. Dissolve a stock cube in a jug with 400ml boiling water. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely slice the shallot. Dice the carrots (peeling optional), potatoes and courgette into 1cm cubes. Halve the tomatoes.
  2. Place the carrots and potatoes in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Boil for 10-12 mins, then drain.
  3. Heat a large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on a medium heat. Add the garlic, shallot and courgette and cook for 5 mins, until softening, then add the tomatoes, stock and peas. Simmer for 10 mins, then add the cooked carrots and potatoes. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then stir together.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Season the sea bass with sea salt and black pepper, then cook for 3-5 mins on each side, until the skin is crispy.
  5. Serve the vegetables and broth topped with the sea bass.
