Ingredients

  • 180g watermelon, chopped
  • 270g pack Waitrose Cherry Vine Tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 salad onions, sliced
  • ¼ x 25g pack coriander, leaves chopped
  • 1 jalapeño chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 4 juice of 3, 1 cut into wedges, to serve
  • 180g pack Mediterranean sea bass fillets
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 250g pouch wholegrain rice

Method

  1. Make the pico de gallo. In a bowl, mix the watermelon, tomatoes, salad onions, coriander, jalapeño and lime juice, then chill for 20 minutes.

  2. Pat the sea bass dry on both sides with kitchen paper, then season. Heat the oil in a frying pan on high. Cook the fish, skin-side down, for 2 minutes, then flip and repeat until golden, opaque and it flakes easily.

  3. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to pack instructions. Serve the fish with the chilled pico de gallo, lime wedges for squeezing over and the rice on the side.

Cook’s tip

Blitz any remaining watermelon with a splash of lime juice and ice, then top with fizzy water and a twist of zest for a refreshing drink to serve alongside.
