1

To make the garlic-coriander butter, place the garlic cloves, 80g (or a handful) of coriander and half of chilli flakes in a food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides occasionally, until finely chopped. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms a paste. Season with ¼ tsp of fine sea salt.

2

Preheat oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.

3

Place the fish in a large deep-sided baking tray or ovenproof dish. Dot the garlic-coriander butter mixture all over the fish and season with ½ tsp of fine sea salt. Pour over 60ml (approx. 4 tbsp) of water, cover with a sheet of aluminium foil and bake for approx. 20-25 minutes until the fish is just cooked through.

4

Meanwhile, prepare the tahini sauce. Place the tahini, vinegar, olive oil, leek, coriander seeds, the rest of the fresh coriander, parsley and 125ml of water in a blender. Season and blitz until combined and the mixture has a sauce-like consistency. (If your sauce is too thick, add a little water until you reach your desired consistency.)

5

Remove the fish from the oven and remove the foil.

6

Pour half the tahini sauce over the top and bake, uncovered, for a further 10-15 minutes until the fish has absorbed the sauce.

7

Transfer the fish to a large platter and spoon over the tahini sauce. Toast the pine nuts. Scatter the microgreens and toasted pine nuts over and serve with the Lebanese breads on the side.
