Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Chop the carrots into 1.5cm rounds, on an angle. Boil for 5 minutes, drain, then put in a baking dish lined with baking paper.
- Add the preserved lemon skin, lemon zest and juice, chilli flakes, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss, then bake for 40 minutes or until the carrots are cooked. Stir in the basil leaves.
- Five minutes before the carrots are ready, lightly dust sea bass in plain flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Melt a knob of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan on a high heat. Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked. Serve the carrots with the fish and wilted rainbow chard.
