Sheet Pan Roasted Sea Bass Dinner for Two

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This week we are taking a break from all of the hedonistic indulgences of the past month.  I think we are both desiring to eat a bit lighter and healthier.  I am craving salad.  Yes I am.  And we still have Christmas Cake.  Its a good thing it is an excellent keeper.

Today I decided to cook us some Sea Bass. Sea Bass is not a fish that I had ever heard of when I was a child, but it is a fish that people really enjoy eating these days.  Its a common name which is used to describe a variety of fish, but here in the UK, all sea bass that is sold is exclusively European Bass.  I sourced  mine from Seafresh, the online fish monger. Their seas bass is farmed, which is the most sustainably sourced at the moment!  I can attest that it is a beautiful piece of fish.

It is a flattish fish, being white or light in colour and it is beautifully sweet and buttery in flavour, mild and delicious! We both enjoy it very much.

I had a lot of work to do today so I decided to cook it simply, by baking it on a sheet pan along with some vegetables. No fuss, no muss, and little to no clean up involved. It is also perfectly sized for just two people, but of course you can increase the amounts to serve more if you wish.

I prepped my vegetables ahead of time.  Two baking potatoes, cut into chunks, an red onion, cut into wedges and medium sized tomatoes cut in half.

I cooked everything in stages . . .  Potatoes take longer to cook so they were tossed with a bit of oil and seasoning, scattered on the baking sheet and the banged into the oven for a short.  While they were roasting I hung up my laundry.

Once my laundry was hung, I took the pan out and added the onions and tomatoes, and a tasty mix of dried herbs. You could use fresh if you are a purist, but I figure they all dry out in the oven anyways, so I just use dried.  I also drizzled with a bit of balsamic vinegar.  Use the good stuff.

I  unloaded the dish washer, loaded it back up,  and then ran a duster quickly over the downstairs furniture and then I was ready to add the fish.
Two lovely fillets, seasoned and nestled down in between the vegetables  . . .  back into the oven.

That left me enough time to set the table and throw together a quick salad to have along side of the fish . . . I threw some chopped cashew nuts onto the fish and roasted for a few minutes longer until they were golden brown.

And that was it, by the time I had that done, the vegetables were tender, those potatoes being golden brown and the onions lightly caramelised . . . and that beautiful sea bass perfectly cooked . . . 

The cashews added a bit of extra protein and nutty crunch . . .  altogether this was really beautiful.

It needed nothing else. No sauce . . .  just a squeeze of lemon if you really want something extra . . .

This was perfect and just what we were needing and craving  . . .
