My mum Martha taught me this recipe years ago, and it's become my go to for weekend breakfasts. It's wonderfully simple, using just a handful of ingredients you likely have at home, which means it won't break the bank. The eggs give you protein to keep you full through the morning, and honestly, from start to finish you'll have fluffy pancakes on the table in under half an hour.

Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt
This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in just ten minutes flat. Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt is that perfect balance of impressive and effortless, with tangy Greek yogurt and zingy preserved lemon creating a sauce that feels restaurant quality but tastes like home. The seabass gets beautifully golden and flaky while the freekeh provides substantial whole grains packed with fiber and protein. It's the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're treating yourself without any fuss.
