Sesame Salt Roast Sea Bass With Ginger Soy Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 (1 1/2 kg) sea bass
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 cm piece gingerroot, shredded
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 red chili pepper, seeded and shredded
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 green onions, shredded
50 g fresh coriander
salt & freshly ground black pepper
lime wedge, to serve

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C.
Mix together the sesame seeds and salt. Season the cavity of the fish then make 3 diagonal slashes across each side of the bass so it cooks evenly.
Transfer the fish to a large roasting tin and brush with a little oil. Scatter over the sesame salt and roast for 25-30 minutes until the fish is cooked and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, splash a little sunflower oil into a small pan and cook the ginger, garlic and chile for 2 minutes, without browning. Add the soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil and remove from the heat.
When the fish is cooked, transfer to a large serving platter. Pour over the ginger dressing, then scatter over the salad onions and coriander leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over.
