Sea Bass with Dijon Butter Sauce

  • 2x Sea Bass Fillets
  • 100g Tenderstem Brocolli
  • 100g Asparagus
  • 100g Samphire
  • 14 Mussels

For the Sauce

  • 50g Butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp Capers
  • Juice of half a Lemon

This one looks jazzy but really doesn’t take much time at all. Start off by bringing a saucepan of water to the boil and then add a generous pinch of salt. Heat another pan and fry the sea bass skin side down for about 3 minutes. After about a minute put the broccoli, asparagus and samphire into the boiling water. Cook for about 1 minute then take off the heat.

Heat another small pan and melt the butter, then add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Give everything a good stir and keep on a low heat. Turn the sea bass over and cook for a further minute, then leave in the pan but take it off the heat. Finally, in another pan steam open the mussels.

Put them in a dry pan and cover, it should take about a minute for them to open and then drain them. Put the vegetables in the centre of the plate and surround it with the mussels.

Put the sea bass on top and then drizzle over the sauce.

Poached Smoked Haddock, Poached Egg and Stir fry Savoy Cabbage

  • 200g Undyed Smoked Haddock
  • 4 Savoy Cabbage Leaves
  • 1/2 Red Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • Seasoning

Simple really… Shred the cabbage, dice the pepper, then in a wok stir fry for about 2 minutes and season liberally. In a frying pan, bring some water to the boil and poach the haddock for about 2 minutes either side.

Then leaving the fish in the water, poach the egg in the same pan until it’s just cooked. That way you should get a nice runny yolk, and that really is it, plate it up and enjoy.

  • 1 cup Flour
  • Water
  • 20ml Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  • 10ml Ketchup
  • A couple of drops of Tabasco

Cut the salmon into bite sized little chunks and leave to one side. Mix the flour with some cold water until it forms a fairly thick batter. In a wok or using a deep fryer bring the oil up to temperature.  Once ready to fry dunk the salmon chunks (that rhymes…) in the batter and fry until nicely golden. While the salmon is cooking; mix together the soy, ketchup, Tabasco and paprika to make the sauce. Once the bites transfer to a bowl and toss around in the sauce. Serve with a wedge of lemon, done.

Harissa Sea Bream

  • 1 Sea Bream Fillet
  • 2 tsbp Plain Flour
  • 2 Red Onions
  • 50g Harissa Paste
  • 40g Raisins
  • 30g Honey
  • 250g Cauliflower
  • 20g Coriander
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 75ml Water
  • 25ml Red Wine Vinegar
  • 50g Tenderstem Brocolli

Right then, start off by prepping the veg. Either blend the cauliflower or chop it finely and then stick it in a pan and stir fry for 5 minutes. Once that’s done finely chop the onion and in the same pan, fry until just cooked. At this point add the harissa paste stir, and then add the water and vinegar.

Leave the harissa mix to reduce, while that’s doing its thing, coat the bream in flour and fry in another pan until crispy on both sides. Then, leave that to one side to rest. In yet another pan (more washing up) boil the tenderstem for about 3 minutes, you want it to be crispy.

Your harissa mix should be nicely reduced now, add the honey, cumin, paprika, raisins and cinnamon and give it all a good stir. Put the bream back in the pan and cover with the mixture.

Finally plate it all up, cauliflower and tenderstem followed by the bream and then the reduced harissa sauce. Lastly, top with the coriander, easy no?

Finally in a small pan fry the halibut for about 2-3 minutes on either side, once it’s nearly ready add the potted shrimp butter basting the fish. Then all you have to do in plate it up, asparagus, fish, then the squid and the potted shrimp butter on the top.

Gurnard with Caper, Lemon and Butter Sauce

  • 1 Gurnard Fillet
  • 100g Purple Sprouting Brocolli/Tenderstem
  • 50g Samphire
  • 25g Butter
  • Juice of half a Lemon
  • 1 tsp Capers
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Cut some slits into the skin on the back of the fillet, this will stop the fish from curling in the pan as much. Heat a little oil in a small frying pan and at the same time, in a saucepan bring the samphire and tenderstem up to the boil. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes on either side and then leave to rest.

 In the pan used for the fish, melt the butter and then add the lemon juice, capers and garlic powder. Give it all a good stir. Drain the vegetables, plate up and lay the gurnard on top, then cover it all in the butter and caper sauce.

J. Sheekey Squid with Slow Cooked Tomatoes and Pancetta

  • 1x Squid (Cleaned and cut into rings)
  • 300g Cherry Tomatoes
  • 3 Spring Onions (chopped)
  • 1 Rasher of Bacon (cut into chunks) or Pancetta Cubes
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • A handful of Rocket

This one is dead quick and looks fairly impressive too. Heat the oven to 100c and then in a wok or heavy bottomed pan fry the bacon until its nice and crispy. Turn the heat down, add the tomatoes and cook until soft. Add the paprika and garlic, stir and cook for a further few minutes.

Finally add the spring onion, mix it through and then transfer the tomato mix to a oven proof dish and stick in the oven while you sort out the squid. In a super hot pan fry the squid for about 3 minutes. Finally plate it all up and get all cheffy with a ball of rocket on the top.

Teriyaki Salmon

  • 2 Fillets of Salmon, roughly 100g each
  • 100g Courgette
  • 2 Spring Onions
  • 100g Fennel
  • 50g Tenderstem Broccoli
  • 75ml Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  • 25ml Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil

Start off by making up your marinade, mix together the soy sauce, maple syrup and garlic powder. Put the salmon into the marinade skin side up and leave for at least half an hour, even better overnight (if you’re particularly organised).

Next you’re going to want to thinly slice all of the vegetables, I did mine at a jaunty cheffy angle because they look pretty. Now for the cooking, pre-heat your oven to 180c and start off with the salmon. Lightly cook for about 2 minutes either side in a pan and then transfer to the oven to finish off.

In a saucepan reduce the excess marinade until it is sticky and syrup like in consistency. Then, in a wok stir fry the courgette, fennel and spring onion, I threw a few drops of soy sauce over it for some seasoning. Steam of boil the tenderstem, I boiled mine until it was… tender. Finally, plate the veg stick the salmon on top and glaze the fish with the marinade using a pastry brush. Enjoy!
