Keep it tender
Cook seafood only until it turns opaque and flakes easily; a little residual heat will finish it without drying it out.

Method
- 01
Prepare the Roasted Potatoes: Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano in a baking tray. Place the feta cheese block in the center of the tray and the trimmed garlic head alongside. Roast for about 40 minutes or until golden and tender.

Cook the Sea Bass: Pat the sea bass fillets dry. Season with salt, pepper, a teaspoon of pesto on each fillet, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Place the fish in the oven next to the potatoes for the last 20 minutes of roasting, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- 03
Prepare the Salad: Combine mixed greens, chopped tomatoes, and green onion in a bowl. Dress with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Assemble: Mash the roasted garlic and feta together, spreading the creamy mixture over the potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve the pesto sea bass with creamy garlic-feta potatoes and a side of fresh salad.
