Ingredients

  • 140g Sea Bass
  • 160g polenta
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 80g red pepper
  • 200g chopped tomatoes
  • 9g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • 8g parmesan

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Whisk the polenta into simmering stock and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until thick and creamy.

  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

    Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: soft polenta first, then the veg and sea bass, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the parmesan.
