- Heat the oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Score the fish in 2cm intervals on both sides and rub a little salt and pepper all over the flesh. Stuff the gut cavity of each fish with a sprig of rosemary and thyme. Scatter the lemon slices and a few sprigs of herbs on a roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil. Put the fish on top and scatter the remaining herbs over. Drizzle the fish with a little more olive oil and season again.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and the flesh comes away easily from the bone.
- Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling, salted water for 2 minutes. Tip in the mangetout, bring back to the boil and cook for another couple of minutes. Drain, rinse under cold, running water and drain again.
- Just before serving, heat 3 tbsp oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and cook for a minute. Tip in the mangetout and beans to reheat. Stir in the spinach, a large handful at a time, until just wilted and season. Serve with the bream.
