Steamed sea bream with sizzling ‘nduja and asparagus is the quick and simple fish dish you’ve been looking for. This three-ingredient wonder is full of flavour, ready in just 20 minutes and technically a one-pot meal.
Make a few slashes on each side of the fish, just breaking the skin, and season with salt and pepper. Line a large steamer basket with baking paper, then lay the fish inside. Put over a large pan of simmering water and steam for 15 minutes.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears (save for stock) and put in the second steamer basket. After the fish has been steaming for 10 minutes, put the asparagus basket under the fish and steam for 5 minutes more.
When the fish has one minute of cooking time left, heat the ’nduja paste in a small pan until it’s melted and bubbling, then pour straight over the freshly steamed fish. Sprinkle the asparagus with salt and pepper and serve with the fish (or, if you like, you can toss the asparagus in the ’nduja pan or fish tray so you don’t waste any of that punchy ’nduja oil).
