Sea Bass with Apple and Fennel

This is a beautifully fresh and healthy dish for a quick midweek supper. Crisp-skinned sea bass with capers and oven roasted tomatoes pairs perfectly with a vibrant apple and fennel salad.

Crisping the skin on your sea bass is key to this delicious dish – ensure it is nice and dry and fry over a high heat in only a little oil in a non-stick pan. The fish should be left skin side down for 2/3 – 3/4 of the cooking time, quickly flipping over near the end to cook through.

The apple and fennel salad would also be great as a barbeque side.
