Lemon Sea Bass with Vietnamese Green Salad

A Refreshing Fish Dish With Bright Flavours

This Lemon Sea Bass with Vietnamese Green Salad is a celebration of light, clean flavours. The flaky, pan-seared fish brings a gentle richness that’s perfectly balanced by a crisp, herb-laced salad. With inspiration drawn from both Southeast Asian and Mediterranean kitchens, the result is a dish that’s as vibrant on the plate as it is on the palate. It’s fresh, it’s bright—and it’s made for warm-weather eating.

The Secret to a Standout Salad: Texture and Balance

What makes this salad sing is its medley of textures and bold seasoning. Thin ribbons of courgette and cucumber are tossed with fiery red chilli, fragrant fish sauce, and tangy lime juice, delivering crunch and zing in every bite. A few drops of toasted sesame oil add nutty depth, while a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top brings it all together. It’s quick to prep, yet it delivers flavour far beyond its simplicity.
