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 large baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl, a grater & a peeler

Oven time

  • Cut the potatoes into wedges. Trim and halve the beetroot, then dice into 3cm chunks
  • Place the wedges onto one side of the lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the beetroot onto the other side and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast both for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden

Finish the prep

  • Meanwhile, finely chop the dill (reserving a few sprigs for garnish)
  • In the large bowl, combine the kefir with the dill, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside
  • Peel the cucumber into ribbons. Zest and cut the lemon into wedges

Fry the fish

  • Season the sea bream with salt and pepper and sprinkle the lemon zest over the flesh
  • When the veg has 10 mins remaining, heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the fish, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins, then flip and cook for another 6 mins, until cooked through

Finish & plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • When ready, add the beetroot to the mustard kefir bowl and toss to coat
  • Serve the sea bream onto plates, with the potato wedges, beetroot salad and cucumber on the side
  • Add a squeeze of lemon to the cucumber and serve with the remaining lemon wedges on the side, for squeezing over. Scatter over the walnuts and dill sprigs to finish
