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.
- 02
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.
- 04
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.
