Salsas are all the rage at the moment, here is a twist using roasted sweetcorn flavoured with lime and coriander. Perfect with Sea Bass
Ingredients
- 4 sea bass, whole and defrosted
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 2 whole fresh sweetcorn
- 2 tsp of fresh red chilli, finely chopped
- ½ red onion, finely chopped

Method
- Pre-heat the grill or oven to a high setting.

- Spoon the last 4 tbsp of oil over the 4 sea bass and season well with salt and pepper.
- Place onto a baking sheet or tray and pop under the grill or in the oven.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until lightly cooked.
- Serve the bass whole spooning over the salsag over the salsa
