Add olive oil to a saucepan over a moderate heat. Add red onions and sliced garlic and sauté for 3 – 4 minutes turning occasionally until soft. Meanwhile place the red cabbage on a medium sized plate splash on some water from the tap and cover with cling film. Place in the micro wave for 90 seconds and leave to stream. Add the cream, stock cube, lemon juice, parsley and maple to a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil stirring regularly. Add the some pepper and reduce heat to simmer allowing the sauce to reduce (2-3 minutes). Once reduced, keep on a low heat. Stir occasionally
Remove cabbage, and place whole beans on a plate, cover with cling film and micro wave for 90 seconds. Meanwhile add cabbage to the onions and garlic. Add the butter and fold into mixture and turn down the heat to keep warm.
In a frying pan add olive oil on a moderate to high heat and when oil is hot add sea bass (skin face down). Move the fish so not to stick to the pan and reduce to a moderate heat after around 1 minute. Cook for a further 1 – 2 minutes until the skin starts to brown. Turn the fillet over and cook for a further 1 – 2 minutes until tender. (Repeat process 1 – 2 mins, skin face down for crispy skin)
Plate arrangement – Place whole beans alongside each other, and place the sea bass crossways over the top. Add cabbage mixture to a dome shaped mould (small cup or something similar) and press in firmly. Carefully tap the mould to release the cabbage mixture onto the end of the whole beans.
Turn off the heat and stir the creamy sauce. Drizzle over the sea bass and over the cabbage. Garnish with remaining parsley. Enjoy!
