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
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve, a grater & a small bowl

Prep the veg

  • Dice the pepper into 3cm chunks. Cut the onion into 6 wedges. Thinly slice the courgette into 1/2cm half-moons
  • Add the prepped veg to the lined baking tray, then toss with 1 tsp oil, half the sumac and salt and pepper
  • Roast for 15-18 mins, until soft and golden

Cook the quinoa

  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Return to the saucepan

Make the mint yoghurt

  • Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and finely chop. Finely grate the garlic
  • In the small bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic and half the mint. Season generously with salt and pepper

Fry the sea bass

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat
  • Season the sea bass with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add the sea bass (skin-side down) and cook for 4 mins, then flip and cook for another 5 mins, until cooked through
  • Drizzle the honey and remaining sumac over the bass. Add the pine nuts. Cook for 1 min, until the pine nuts are golden

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Stir the rocket and remaining mint through the quinoa
  • Share the roasted veg between bowls, with the quinoa alongside. Top with the sticky sea bass and pine nuts. Drizzle over the mint yoghurt
