Serves

2

Ingredients

2 Sea Bass / Bass Fillets
5ml (1tsp) olive oil
For the pesto:
Leaves of 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
Leaves of a small bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley
1 garlic clove
15ml (1tbsp) finely grated Grana Padano
Grated zest and juice of ½ lemon
Small bunch of fresh chives, finely chopped
15ml (1 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Pre-heat the grill to medium. Slash the sea bass diagonally on each side and tuck the rosemary sprigs into the gut cavities. Brush each fish lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Grill for 5-7 minutes each side, until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, make the pesto. Put the rosemary, parsley leaves and garlic in a mini chopper or food processor and whiz until finely chopped. Add the cheese and lemon zest and whiz again. Tip into a small serving bowl and stir in the lemon juice, chives, olive oil and some salt and pepper.
  3. Spoon the pesto over the fish. Serve the sea bass with some buttery boiled new potatoes.
