Ingredients
  • 2 sea bass fillets
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 can butter beans (400g)
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 pack of fresh parsley
  • 2tbsp olive oil
  • 1tbsp lemon juice
  • freshly ground black pepper

We used cherry tomatoes in this recipe as they tend to have more flavour than the standard salad tomatoes- but you can also use 1 or 2 beefsteak tomatoes instead.

Using canned butter beans saves on soaking time. Alternatively you can use dried butter beans- but be sure to soak and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

 

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

First, prepare the vegetables: dice the onion, chop the cherry tomatoes and chop the parsley.
