Method
Step 1
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the skin of the fish fillets then sprinkle with sea salt. Now place into a frying pan and push the fillets down into the pan to make sure they are flat. Now drizzle a little more olive oil over the fish flesh in the panStep 2
Meanwhile fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the vegetables and bring to the boil, add the vegetables and when the water has returned to the boil remove from the heat and drain the vegetables. As they are so fresh they need only the slightest amount of cookingStep 3
Pour the vegetables into a saucepan and drizzle with olive oil and grate over about half the zest from one lemon. Leave the pan to stay warm and return to the fish.Step 4
Check to see that the fish is cooked through and the skin is browned - then it's ready to serve. Place a layer of the mixed vegetables on a plate then lay on one fillet of fish. Next put a layer of asparagus and beans acoss the fillet then add the other fish fillet.Step 5
Finally pour a few peas on top of the fish and top with a few slices of the red chilli to add a dash of vibrant colour.
