  This is a great recipe. Instead of white fish I served it with slices of grilled halloumi. Yumm.

  The sea bass really complemented this dish and the roasted cherry tomatoes tasted wonderful. However 40g dill gave the pilau too aniseed a flavour in the opinion of my husband and myself, so I'll try halving the quantity of dill next time. My son liked it however - so I think it must be a matter of taste. I chose to use brown basmati rice with a cooking time of 25 minutes. Adding it at the same time as the quinoa meant that the quinoa was cooked 10 minutes before the rice and all the stock evaporated, so I had to add more stock. In future I'll cook the rice for 10 minutes before adding it.

  Really good receipe with great textures and flavours. Would have to agree with Vivi though in that I also thought that there was too much dill, so will definitely be reducing that next time.

  Mmm, mmm, mmm: this dish makes delightful eating. Changed the recipe only by grilling the tomatoes alongside sea bass instead of roasting. Quinoa is wonderful for its versatility and slight nuttiness - will definitely make again, and is good cold in a salad the next day too.

  Oh, changed something else - used dried dill on the fish instead - didn't have any fresh dill.
