Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 branzino fillets (180g each), skin-on; 300g mixed beets (golden and ruby), peeled and cut into 2cm cubes; 100g cooked chickpeas, drained; 80g wild arugula or mixed greens; 50g toasted walnuts, roughly chopped; 4 tbsp tahini; 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses; 1 lemon, juiced; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 3 tbsp olive oil, divided; 2 tbsp fresh mint, torn; 1 tsp smoked paprika; Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste

A whole skin-on branzino fillet achieves an impossibly crispy, crackling mahogany exterior while the flesh stays silken and flakes at the gentlest touch. Beneath sits a warm salad of charred golden and ruby beets, tender wild greens, crispy chickpea croutons and creamy tahini-walnut sauce spiked with pomegranate molasses and fresh mint.
