This dish is so versatile and can be altered depending on your intolerances or food allergies. You could even swap out the fish for chicken if preferred.

However, I love this sea bass pan fried in a lemon, parsley butter sauce with new potatoes and roasted green peppers, courgette on a bed of crispy kale.

I added a chilli to this as I happened to have one left in the fridge but this is optional.

Instructions
  1. Chop the courgette and pepper, stir in a bowl with a little oil and salt and then roast in the oven on a reasonable heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Wash and half the baby potatoes and get them boiling in a pan. Once boiling, continue to cook on a rolling boil until cooked through, usually about 10 minutes.
  3. Whilst the potatoes are cooking, prepare the parsley sauce. Zest and squeeze the lemon. Tear the parsley and chop the chilli (if adding). Heat the butter in a large flat fry pan and pour over the lemon juice and zest and add the chilli. fry this on a low heat, gently until all the flavours are combined.
  4. Add the fish and cover with a lid. Turn after a few minutes to cook through on both side. Usually about 8 minutes depending on the size of the fish fillets.
  5. Check on the potatoes and the roasted veg. Once the veg is nearly cooked through, add in the chopped kale and stir through to wilt with the other greens.
  6. Drain the potatoes, serve over the greens and serve with the fish on the side, pouring over the remaining sauce and adding the fresh torn parsley over the top.
