    Easy to prepare and cook, I used sea bass fillets instead of whole fish. An unusual dish - I think the olives were a little too strong for this dish and I used chopped hazelnuts instead of pine nuts as I didn't have any. Served with garlic and rosemary roast potatoes.

    I only had fresh peppers, so I roasted them for an extra five minutes before adding the onions. We loved the recipe and I'll do it again, but didn't fancy sitting on the sea bass, as I had my best jeans on :o) (JK)

    The fish was tasty (although, I usually fry fish, so I missed the usual crispy skin) and nicely cooked. I used a fillet of sea bass as and put it in for 5 minutes less. I agree that the olives were too much (I used Kalamata). If I made it again, I would leave them out, but honestly, I don't think I would make it again (ust because there are tastier things out there). I served it with lemon and rosemary potato wedges and an Italian mixed leaf salad, which complemented it well.
