  • Caramelise orange zest and sugar in a pan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until brown.
  • Add orange segments to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until coloured.
  • Stir in remaining dressing ingredients and remove from heat.
  • Score the fish skin and dust the fillet with curry powder.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan and fry sea bass skin-side down for 2 minutes.
  • Turn the fillet and cook for another 30 seconds until done through.
