Pan-Fried Double Sea Bass With Greek-Style Salad & Crispy Waxy Potato

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6

Chop your waxy potatoes in half, lengthways

Add the chopped potatoes to one side of a baking tray (or two!) with your ground paprika, a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 15 min or until starting to brown

While the potatoes are cooking, tear your ciabatta[s] into bite-sized pieces

Peel and chop your red onion[s] into wedges

Chop your tomato[es] into wedges

Cut your cucumber in half lengthways, then slice finely

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Once the potatoes have been in the oven for 15 min, remove the tray[s] and add the torn ciabatta, onion wedges, tomato wedges, half your dried oregano and half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!) to the other side

Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Return the tray[s] to the oven for a final 15 min or until the potatoes and the ciabatta are golden and crispy

While the veg is cooking, add a handful of flour to a plate with the remaining dried oregano and a pinch of salt – this is your herby flour

Pat your sea bass fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper and turn several times until fully coated in the herby flour – this is your coated sea bass

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the coated sea bass, skin side down, with a pinch of salt and cook for 6 min, flip and cook 1 min further or until cooked through

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)

Meanwhile, combine the remaining chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!) with your mayo and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] cold water – this is your garlic mayo

Add your red wine vinegar to a large bowl with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix it all together – this is your dressing

Once the croutons and roasted veg are cooked, add them to the dressing with the sliced cucumber

Crumble in your feta and gently toss it all together – this is your roasted Greek-style salad
