Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

2 tbsp sweet white miso
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted, plus more for frying
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 large carrots, cut into chunks
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 large parsnips, cut into chunks
1 handful of fresh thyme
2 sea bass fillets
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6

    Step 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the miso paste, lemon juice, melted coconut oil and crushed garlic and stir well.

    Step 3

    Lay the vegetables in a roasting dish, drizzle the miso glaze over the veg, then give the vegetables a good toss so that they are all coated.

    Step 4

    Scatter the fresh thyme over the veg and a small sprinkling of sea salt then place into the hot oven for about 45 minutes.

    Step 5

    When the vegetables are almost ready, prepare the sea bass by scoring the skin of the fillets with a sharp knife five or six times. Season with a little salt and pepper.

    Step 6

    Heat a little coconut oil in a frying pan and place the sea bass in the pan, skin side down, to fry over a medium heat until the skin is crisp and brown. Flip over and cook for a further 2 minutes.

    Step 7

    Lay a generous helping of roasted vegetables on a plate, top with the cooked sea bass and serve.
