Method
Wash the small potatoes and cut them in half. Put them in a pot of salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes until tender, then drain.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry and season with salt. Heat a splash of the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Lay the fillets skin-side down, open flat like a butterflied fish, and press gently. Cook for 4 minutes without moving them until the skin is crisp, then turn and cook for 2 minutes more.
Lift the fish out and, in the same pan, fry the sliced garlic and the potatoes in the rest of the oil for 3 minutes, until golden. Add a squeeze of lemon.
Serve the fish with the potatoes and a side salad of lettuce and cherry tomatoes, with chopped parsley on top if using.
