Recipe by Jane Hornby from BBC’s Good Food

Sea bass with sizzled ginger, chili & spring onions

  • 6 sea bass fillets, about 5 oz. each, skin on and scaledSea Bass
  • 3 Tbsp sunflower oil
  • large knob of ginger, peeled and shredded into matchsticks
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3 fat, fresh red chilis, deseeded and thinly shredded
  • 1 bunch spring onions, shredded longways
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce

Directions:

Season the fish with salt and pepper, then slash the skin 3 times.

Heat a heavy-based frying pan and add 1 tbsp oil. Once hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, for 5 mins or until the skin is very crisp and golden. The fish will be almost cooked through. Turn over, cook for another 30 secs-1 min, then transfer to a serving plate and keep warm. You may need to fry the fish in 2 batches.

Heat the remaining oil, then fry the ginger, garlic and chillies for about 2 mins until golden. Take off the heat and toss in the spring onions. Splash the fish with a little soy sauce and spoon over the contents of the pan.

Enjoy!
