Sea bass and bacon with sweet potato mash and Asian greens

I absolutely love sea bass and so I've made this meal a couple of times and its always delicious.. Highly recommended!!
  
This is a Jamie Oliver recipe and here are the ingredients:
  • (for the fish) 4 slices of bacon
  • 2 x 150g (8½oz) fillets of sea bass, skin on, scaled and pin-boned 
  • 1tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 lemon 
  • (for the potatoes) 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp mango chutney
  • Soy sauce
  • 2 limes
  • (for the Asian greens) 1 fresh red chilli
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Soy sauce
  • 1 lime
  • Sesame oil
  • 250g (9oz) asparagus
  • 1 head of broccoli

All ingredients used
Cut the sweet potatoes in half and put in a tray with the lime, then cover with aluminum foil and put in oven at 200'C for 45 minutes, or until cooked through (i.e. soft!).

Put the bacon into the frying pan with a little olive oil and cook till a little crispy.
Add a little olive oil, salt and pepper to the sea bass. Remove the bacon from the pan and add the fish, skin side down.
Scatter the fennel seeds over the fish with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the zest of 1 lemon. Leave to cook and check the fish - once the skin is golden and crispy, turn the heat down to low.

Moving on to the sweet potato mash.. (to busy to take any photos..!) Add the mango chutney, a good splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the juice from ½ a lime and the reserved chopped chilli to a bowl. Chop and mix everything. Add the sweet potatoes and mix it all together.

And moving onto the greens... Fill the large saucepan with boiling water and add a large pinch of salt. Add the broccoli and asparagus, put the lid on and turn the heat to high. Next, prepare their dressing.. De-seed and chop the chilli. Crush the clove of garlic into the bowl and add 2 tbsp of soy sauce and 4-6 tbsp of olive oil. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and add a splash of sesame oil. Drain the broccoli and asparagus in a colander, then tip into the serving bowl with the dressing.

Add all together and enjoy...!



Καλἠ ὀρεξη!!!!!
