It's the fourth and final week of the HerFamily.ie 30 Day Bikini Body Blitz and we're firmly on the home straight. So much so that (maybe for the first time ever) we're reluctant to ruin all our hard work by scoffing something naughty. But all work and no play makes Jenny a dull girl, right?  Clement Pavie, the Musgrave MarketPlace Head Chef, has come up with a stunningly simple and utterly delicious dish that can be cooked in the oven or on the barbecue if the weather's good. Invite some friends 'round, kick back and serve them this surprisingly healthy summer dish. Grilled Fillet of Sea Bass with Black Olives and Tomato Salsa Serves 4 4 fillet of fresh sea bass, skin on For the salsa 4 large Vine tomatoes 4 tablespoons of Kalamata olives (stoned) 1 tablespoons of red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil 1 very fine chopped shallot 1 table spoon of freshly chopped coriander 1 table spoon of freshly chopped basil 1 table spoon pf freshly chopped flat parsley METHOD: Black olives and Tomato dressing Dry the black olives for 30 minutes in a 150˚C oven Leave to cool down.
