Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces sea bass 150g
  • 1 tin piquillo peppers
  • 1 handful caperberries Spanish
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 100 ml olive oil Spanish
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 glass dry Fino wine small
  • 1 can black olives Spanish, pitted
  • 2 fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions
 

  • Wash and pat dry your sea bass fillets and put to one side to pan fry later.
  • Open the tin of piquillo peppers, cut them in half and remove any seeds.
  • Drain the caperberries and olives and put these aside also.
  • Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves and onion, then add half of the olive oil to a hot pan and fry over a medium heat until golden brown.
  • Add the piquillo peppers and sauté for a further 30 seconds, before adding the purple Spanish olives and caperberries and sauté again.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add a splash of Fino wine. Let the alcohol burn and sprinkle a touch of finely chopped parsley into the pan. Taste the seasoning and alter if needed.
  • Take a separate non-stick pan and place over a high heat and pour in a touch of Spanish olive oil.
  • Score the skin of the sea bass through and then pan fry skin side down until 3/4 done, turn over, season the skin with some salt flakes and cook for one more minute.
  • Serve the Spanish olive sauce on to a plate and place the sea bass on the top, drizzle over a touch of olive oil to finish.
