- Firstly, prepare your tapenade. Finely chop the olives, tomatoes, garlic and anchovies. Squeeze in the lemon and mix well. (Add the basil just before serving.) Set aside until needed.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until tender. While they’re cooking, sprinkle the chilli over the broccoli, then steam until soft but with a little bite.
- Make 3 or 4 slashes through the bream’s skin. Season, then fry, skin-side down, on a medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn over and fry for a further 2 minutes. Add the basil to the tapenade. Serve the fish with a spoonful or so of tapenade, alongside the broccoli and new potatoes.
