English_Rose's Note:

This recipe enhances the subtle flavour of sea bass with a piquant stuffing and cooks it in foil to seal in the fabulous flavours.

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 onions , thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat a barbecue/grill or broiler.
2. Heat half the oil in a pan and gently cook the onions for 15-20 minutes until browned and caramelised. Add the white wine vinegar and honey to the onions and season with salt and pepper.
3. Lay 2 pieces of foil on top of each other horizontally on a work surface. Lay another 2 pieces vertically on top of those, to form a cross shape. Lay the sea bass on the foil.
