Pat the sea bass fillets dry and rinse excess salt from the samphire.
Spread the garlic, lemon slices, and samphire across the bottom of the pot.
Place the sea bass on top of the vegetable bed and drizzle with olive oil.
Add a little hot water and close the lid so the fish steams gently.
Cook the steamed dish over low heat for 15 minutes.
Let the pot rest for 5 minutes, then transfer the fillets to a plate without breaking them.
Add lemon juice and dill on top and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Because samphire is naturally salty, tasting before adding extra salt gives a more balanced result.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the sea bass hot on a main plate with lemon wedges alongside.
