• In another saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Over high heat, saute the baby vegetables until glazed. Divide into 2 and mound in center of plate. Keep warm.
• Add the remaining 2 ounces of butter to the fillets and baste them with the butter. Place a fillet and the red peppers on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle half of the croutons on top and around each fillet. To butter, add shallots and continue to cook until butter turns brown. Deglaze with lemon juice, and add the lemon pieces, parsley, chives, tarragon, capers, and caper berries. When heated, pour half over and around each fillet. Serve immediately.

Reduce heat to medium; cook, undisturbed,until skin is crisp and flesh is opaque halfway up sides and almost cooked through, 5 to 7minutes, depending on thickness.
• Flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, skin-sides up. Add vermouth to skillet; boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add capers and butter; cook until butter simmers and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs. Return fish to skillet, skin-side up; spoon butter sauce over top.

BAKED SEA BASS WITH LEMON CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix the oil with the lemon zest and juice, capers, mustard, some seasoning and 1 tbsp water. Don't add the parsley yet (unless serving straight away) as the acid in the lemon will fade the colour if they are left together for too long.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and put the fish, skin-side up, on top. Brush the skin with oil and sprinkle with some flaky salt. Bake for 7 mins or until the flesh flakes when tested with a knife. Arrange the fish on warm serving plates, spoon over the dressing and scatter with extra parsley leaves, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the flour in a shallow dish and add salt and pepper to season it, mix. Coat both sides of the sea bass fillets with the flour.
• Heat a cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil and swirl to coat the bottom. When the oil hot and begins to shimmer, place the coated fish in the hot skillet and cook until the bottom browns. Turn the fish over and cook for 1 minute.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, and then take out of the oven to test for doneness. Place a fork into the thickest part of the fish at a 45 degree angle and lift gently. The fish should be opaque, not translucent and should easily flake when done. If it needs more time, return to the oven for 2 minutes. It should be cooked through and brown on both sides.
• While fish is cooking, pound garlic cloves with the flat side of chef's knife, peel and trim the end, then chop into a fine mince. Place half of the minced garlic in a small bowl, reserving the rest for the spinach. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, capers with juice, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, and parsley. Whisk together to incorporate and set aside.
• For the spinach, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, reduce heat to medium low and add remaining minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano to pan. Cook until garlic is aromatic. Add blanched spinach, stir and cook until the spinach is hot.
• Once the fish is cooked, the sauce is made and the spinach is sauteed, plate the dish. Place spinach on the plate, taking care that no moisture pools from the saute. Top with sea bass and finish with lemon sauce.

In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook the fettuccine until it is al dente, drain it well, and in the large bowl toss it with the lemon mixture and salt to taste until the mixture is combined well.

Turn the fillets and sauté them for 4 minutes more, or until they are crisp and just flake. Divide the fettuccine between 2 heated plates, top it with the fillets, and drizzle each fillet with half of the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon mixture.
