Ingredients

  • 140g Sea Bass
  • 150g couscous
  • 80g butternut squash
  • 80g green beans
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the butternut squash and green beans, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  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

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the butternut squash and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: couscous first, then the veg and sea bass, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.
