This Ginger, Garlic and Chilli Seabass features some classic, Asian flavours and is perfect if you’re counting calories or following a plan like Weight Watchers.

Fish is packed full of essential oils and they’re also really good brain food too. Seabass is a fish that is able to stand up to stronger flavours and we think that this Ginger, Garlic and Chilli Seabass is one of the best ways to enjoy seabass fillets.

We’ve balanced the saltiness of the soy with lime juice and rice vinegar, but if you don’t have any rice vinegar then you could also use white wine vinegar with a bit of sweetener.

If you love this flavour combination then feel free to get creative as spring onions, ginger, garlic and chilli work fantastically with any protein!

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Step 2

Mist a pan with low calorie cooking spray and fry all the ingredients for the fish (except the fillets) until the ginger and garlic become aromatic.

Step 3

Place the Seabass fillets in the pan, skin side down and cook until the skin becomes crispy. Place the pan in the oven to cook the fish through.

Boil the kettle and place the noodle nests into a large microwave friendly bowl. Top with the boiling water, cover with clingfilm and cook on high for 3 minutes. Let stand whilst you start cooking the veg.

Step 5

Mist a wok or high sided pan with low calorie cooking spray and fry half the spring onions, ginger and garlic until the ginger and garlic become aromatic.

Step 6

Add the rest of the noodle ingredients (except the noodles and 3 spring onions) to the pan and stir well. Let cook for 5 minutes until the carrot begins to soften.

Step 7

Drain the noodles and add then to the vegetables. Stir well, then add the rest of the spring onions.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oven – it should be cooked – but just check. Plate up the noodles and veg, and top with the seabass. Enjoy!

Hi. Looking forward to making this but do I need dark or light soy? Thanks.

Reply

    HollyFriday 25th March 2022

    Hey Catherine, either dark or light will work fine in the recipe so it’s really down to preference! Light soy sauce is slightly saltier and thinner whereas dark soy sauce is slightly sweeter, thicker, and has a stronger flavour. Hope that helps!

      Thank you! I used a tbsp of each in the end! Delicious, and loads of noodles left over for lunches. Thanks.

      HollyMonday 28th March 2022

      Hey Catherine, so glad you hear you enjoyed this recipe!

RachelThursday 20th May 2021

Had this tonight, delicious.

Tweaked it slightly, didn’t add the chilli and only half the amount of chilli flakes and added some broccoli that I had spare.

This dish would be good with prawns or chicken too.

What do you do with the chicken stock cube? Does it go in dry or in how much water?

Reply

    HollyThursday 20th May 2021

    Hey Carrie, the stock pot is added to the pan in step 6 along with the rest of the ingredients for the noodles which includes 150ml water. Hope that helps!
