Method

  1. Cut 3 slashes in each side of sea bass (to stop the skin bursting on cooking). Put a few lime slices inside each cavity.
  2. Strip thyme sprigs and sprinkle the leaves over the fish, along with red chilli. Put into a shallow dish. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze over the rest of the juice from the lime.
  3. Cover with cling film and pierce a few times.
  4. Cook on medium-high (750W) for 5-6 minutes or until the fish is just cooked.
  5. Leave for 1 minute, season and serve.
