Ingredients

1 whole bream, cleaned

juice and zest of 2 limes

1 lemon

1 red chilli

1 stick lemongrass

30ml/2 tblsp olive oil

1 tblsp butter

1 small bunch watercress

1 tblsp chopped chives

salt and cracked pepper to taste

Directions

Make three diagonal cuts into the fish on both sides.

Remove the zest from the limes and chop finely.

Chop the red chilli and finely slice the lemongrass and mix with olive oil.

Place the fish into a roasting tray, season to taste and pour lime juice into the cuts on each side of the fish. Pour a little olive oil mixture into each of the cuts and brush onto the fish with the remaining oil.

Place the fish into a pre-heated oven (180C/355F) or kettle BBQ and cook for approximately 20 minutes.

Add to the juice left in the roasting tray a tblsp of butter, the washed and drained watercress and coarsely chopped chives.

Place in the oven until the watercress starts to collapse and becomes limp. Remove, add the lemon juice and serve over the fish.
