Patience is a virtue that can all but dissipate if you're starving. Luckily help is at hand here with a speedy recipe for baked sea bream with chilli, lemon and garlic that's ready in just 15 minutes. Serve with a salad, or if you can wait a few more minutes, some boiled new potatoes.

  1. Heat the olive oil gently in a pan with the garlic and chilli until the garlic is soft. Squeeze in a little lemon juice. Lay the sea bream on a foil-lined baking sheet and make slashes down each side of the body about 1cm deep. Pour over a little of the garlic sauce and season.
  2. Heat the grill to very hot. Grill the fish for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until the skin is lightly charred and the flesh is just starting to turn opaque.
  3. Meanwhile reheat the sauce gently, taking care not to burn the garlic. Serve the fish with the remaining sizzling sauce and scattered with parsley.
