Ingredients

  • 140g Sea Bass
  • 150g quinoa
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

    Score the sea bass skin, season and pan-fry skin-side down for 3-4 minutes, then flip for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cherry tomatoes and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and sea bass, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
