1. 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.
2. Bake for about 15 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and the flesh comes away easily from the bone.
3. 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.
4. 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.
