(inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 4 spring onions
• 1/2 bunch of fresh coriander (15g)
• 2 x 300g whole sea bass, scaled, gutted, and trimmed (sustainably sourced)
• 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
• 1 lime

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sea Bass

1. Prep the Garnish: Trim and halve the spring onions, finely shred them lengthways, and soak in ice water to crisp up. Pick the coriander leaves, setting stalks aside.
2. Prepare the Sea Bass: Score the skin of each fish at 2cm intervals. Rub thoroughly with Thai curry paste, making sure it gets into the cuts. Season inside and out, then stuff the cavity with coriander stalks.
3. Cook the Fish: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Fry the sea bass for 3-4 minutes per side, until dark golden and cooked through.
4. Assemble the Dish: Drain the crisped spring onions and coriander leaves. Pile onto plates and top with the fish. Spoon over spicy oil from the pan. Grate over lime zest and serve with lime halves for squeezing.
