This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because everything cooks together in one tray, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor. Fresh sea bass fillets are packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are brilliant for your heart health, and they cook so quickly you'll have dinner on the table in under an hour. The beauty of this Mediterranean style traybake is how the potatoes, tomatoes, and olives all infuse the fish with gorgeous Grecian flavors while it bakes. It's simple, impressive, and honestly costs less than ordering takeaway.

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Using a sharp knife (or mandolin), slice the potatoes as finely as possible. Toss in a large mixing bowl with the tomatoes, olives, garlic, oregano, 1½ tbsp oil, the salt and a grinding of black pepper. Arrange in a medium baking dish (about 1 litre in volume).

Pour over the lemon juice and stock. Roast for 30-35 minutes, carefully stirring and turning the vegetables halfway through. Meanwhile, pat the sea bass fillets dry with kitchen paper and slash the skin 3 times. Season all over with salt.

Turn the oven to grill on the highest setting and put a rack on the top shelf. Lay the sea bass fillets, skin-side up, over the vegetables and drizzle with the remaining ½ tbsp oil. Grill for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is cooked, opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Stand for a minute before scattering with the remaining oregano and serving with a green salad.

Dark chocolate, chilli & salted pretzel slice
This is one of my favourite ways to use up a jar of chocolate sauce and create something that tastes far more impressive than it actually is. The magic happens when dark chocolate meets a hint of smoky chilli and the irresistible crunch of salted pretzels, all wrapped up in a simple sponge. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, so you can feel a little virtuous with each bite. What I love most is that this comes together in just 15 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, making it perfect for when friends drop by unexpectedly. It's basically a one bowl wonder that never fails to impress.
