Instructions
- 1.Cook the freekeh according to package directions. Typically, this involves simmering 150g of freekeh in 400ml of water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the freekeh cooks, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced fennel, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
- 3.Prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Pour half of this dressing over the fennel salad and toss to combine.
- 4.Stir the chopped fresh dill into the cooked freekeh.
- 5.Pat the sea bass fillets dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the zest of the lemon. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
- 6.Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until opaque and cooked through. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the fish in the pan.
- 7.To serve, spoon the dill freekeh onto two plates. Top with the fennel-tomato salad and place a sea bass fillet alongside. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.
