Bass with Herbed Rice and Coconut-Vegetable Chowder

This sophisticated pan-fried bass dish offers a beautiful balance of textures and aromatic flavours. A high-protein main course, it pairs crispy, panko-crusted fish with a velvety coconut-vegetable chowder enriched with kaffir lime, ginger, and fresh carrot juice. The combination of sweet potato and sugar snap peas provides a natural sweetness and crunch that offsets the creamy broth, making every spoonful feel both indulgent and light.

Ideal for a weekend dinner party or a nutritious homemade treat, this recipe is as visually stunning as it is delicious. The vibrant orange hue of the carrot-infused broth makes for a striking presentation when served alongside fragrant herbed rice. Using sustainable bass or halibut ensures a firm, flaky finish that stands up perfectly to the bold, Southeast Asian-inspired flavours of the savoury chowder.
