Instructions

Roast Veg

1 Roast Veg

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
  • Chop the potatoes (skins on) into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Deseed and roughly chop the red pepper.
  • Add the vegetables on a lined baking tray with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the coriander powder and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Mix well, and roast for 12-15 min until the vegetables are halfway cooked through.
Prep

2 Prep

  • Meanwhile, pick and finely chop the coriander leaves.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic.
  • Slice the red chilli into rounds.
  • Cut the lemon in quarters.
  • Rinse the seabream fillets over a sink and sprinkle generously with salt and squeeze a wedge of lemon juice over.
  • Set on a plate to marinate for 1-2 min, then rinse under cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper.
Tip! Did you know that rinsing fish with either salt, citrus, or milk helps neutralise odours and produces a fresher, purer tasting fish?
Roast fish

3 Roast fish

  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush over the seabream fillets.
  • After the potatoes and peppers have cooked halfway through, move them to the sides of the tray and place the fish in the centre.
  • Roast for 10-12 min further until the fish is flakey and the potatoes are cooked through. Remove from the oven and mix the fresh coriander, garlic, and half the red chilli (spicy!) through the vegetables.
Tip! Not a fan of raw garlic? Leave it out.
Toast almond flakes

4 Toast almond flakes

  • Meanwhile, heat a small pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the almond flakes and quickly fry until they start to turn golden brown.
  • Spoon them out of the oil and drain onto a paper towel.
Tip! Keep a very close watch on the almonds as they can burn quickly!
Make Tahini Sauce

5 Make Tahini Sauce

  • In a bowl, combine the tahini, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, a good pinch of salt, some garlic, and 3 Tbsp of cold water.
  • Mix until smooth.
  • Season with a pinch of cayenne (spicy!).
Tip! If the tahini sauce seizes or thickens up, just add a few more splashes of water (or lemon juice) and whisk well to loosen.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Divide the seabream and roasted vegetables onto plates.
  • Pour the spicy tahini sauce[b] over the [b]fish and garnish with toasted almond flakes, coriander, and remaining red chilli (spicy!).
  • Serve the lemon wedges alongside.
