Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 170°C (fan)/ gas 5
Boil a full kettle
Chop your potatoes (skins on!) into large, bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 min

While your potatoes are cooking, trim, then slice your spring onion[s] finely, keeping the white parts and green parts separate
Wash your shredded kale and pat dry with kitchen paper

Add your Tenderstem broccoli to a large piece of tin foil (or two!) with a large splash of cold water and a pinch of salt
Scrunch the foil around the Tenderstem broccoli to form a tightly sealed parcel and add to a baking tray
Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Make 2 separate parcels!
Put the tray in the oven for 12-15 min or until the Tenderstem broccoli is tender with a slight bite

While the vegetables are cooking, combine your soft cheese, vegetable stock mix, roasted garlic paste and Chinese rice wine to a jug with 50ml [65ml] [85ml] boiled water and mix until fully combined – this is your stock

Once the potatoes are nearly done, add the kale to the pot and cook, covered, for 3 min further or until the potatoes are tender and the kale is wilted
Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry
Return the pot to a low heat with a knob of butter, a splash of milk and the finely sliced white parts of the spring onion
Mash together until fully combined and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then keep covered until serving – these are your colcannon potatoes

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Pat your sea bass fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper and season on both sides with a pinch of salt
Once hot, add the seasoned sea bass fillet[s], skin side down and cook for 5 min, then flip the sea bass and cook for 1 min further or until cooked through
Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily
Once cooked, transfer the cooked sea bass to a plate, reserve the pan

Return the reserved pan to a medium-low heat and add the stock and cook for 2 min or until the sauce begins to thicken to a gravy-like consistency
Once the sauce has reduced add the green parts of the spring onion stir it all together – this is your creamy pan sauce
Serve the cooked sea bass with the tenderstem broccoli and colcannon potatoes to the side
Spoon the creamy pan sauce over the cooked sea bass
Enjoy!
