Sea bass with sizzled ginger, chilli & spring onions

Step 1

Season 6 sea bass fillets with salt and pepper, then slash the skin 3 times.

Step 2

Heat a heavy-based frying pan and add 1 tbsp sunflower oil.

Step 3

Once hot, fry the sea bass fillets, skin-side down, for 5 mins or until the skin is very crisp and golden. The fish will be almost cooked through.

Step 4

Turn over, cook for another 30 seconds - 1 minute, then transfer to a serving plate and keep warm. You’ll need to fry the sea bass fillets in 2 batches.

Step 5

Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil, then fry the large knob of peeled ginger, cut into matchsticks, 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 3 thinly shredded red chillies for about 2 mins until golden.

Step 6

Take off the heat and toss in the bunch of shredded spring onions. Splash the fish with 1 tbsp soy sauce and spoon over the contents of the pan.
