A dish where simplicity meets elegance, drawing its power from Greenfields spices and a chef’s confidence to let the ingredients speak.

Charred seabass with a crushed herb and spice butter

Typically described as:

Marco Pierre White often talks about restraint: fewer ingredients, cooked properly, with intensity. This recipe celebrates that ethos. Seabass fillets are pan-charred until crisp-skinned, then finished with a Greenfields spice-infused butter that melts over the hot flesh, releasing layers of fragrance. It’s not complicated cooking – it’s about precision, timing, and letting spice enhance, not overwhelm. Think rustic bistro charm with chef-level poise.

Serves 2

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 12 minutes

  • 2 seabass fillets, skin on

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ tsp Greenfields Ground Coriander

  • ½ tsp Greenfields Ground Cumin

  • ½ tsp Greenfields Aleppo Chilli

  • ½ tsp Greenfields Za’atar

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Himalayan Pink Salt (Fine)

  • 80 g unsalted butter, softened

  • Small bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Pat the seabass fillets dry with kitchen paper and lightly score the skin.

  • Heat a heavy frying pan until smoking, then add the olive oil.

  • Place the fish skin-side down, pressing lightly to prevent curling. Cook 4–5 minutes until crisp. Turn and cook flesh side 1–2 minutes more.

  • Meanwhile, mix softened butter with coriander, cumin, Aleppo chilli, za’atar, salt, parsley, and lemon juice.

  • Remove fish from the pan, place onto warm plates, and add a quenelle of spiced butter over each fillet. The butter will melt into the fish, forming its own sauce.

Serve with a simple side: crushed new potatoes or wilted spinach. Keep it sharp, clean, and unfussy – that’s the point.
