Method
1. For the salsa: mix together all the ingredients but the herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Stir in the herbs and watercress just before serving.2. For the sea bass: heat a little olive oil in a frying pan. Cut a few horizontal slits into the sea bass skin and dust with flour. Cook skin-side down for 2-3 minutes, turn the fillets over and turn off the heat. These will continue to cook in the pan, so check them to ensure they don’t overcook.
3. For the vegetables: heat the butter in a frying pan and add the broccoli and asparagus. Keep turning the vegetables in the butter until tender then add the prawns. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve the sea bass fillets on a bed of the vegetables with a spoonful of salsa on the side.
