Ingredients

  • 140g Sea Bass
  • 160g gnocchi
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g spinach
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Pan-fry the gnocchi in a non-stick pan for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.

  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 spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

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