From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sea bass with watermelon pico de gallo

Prep: 10 mins + marinating
Cook: 5 minutes

Serves 2

180g pack watermelon, chopped
270g pack cherry vine tomatoes, chopped
4 salad onions, sliced
½ x 28g pack fresh coriander, chopped
1 jalapeño chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Juice of 3 limes, plus 2 wedges to serve
180g pack sea bass fillets
1 tbsp sunflower oil
250g pouch microwaveable whole grain rice

First make the pico de gallo: in a bowl, mix the watermelon, tomatoes, salad onions, coriander, jalapeño and lime juice. Chill for 20 minutes.

Pat the sea bass dry on both sides with kitchen paper then season. Warm the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Cook the fish, skin-side down for 2 minutes, turn over and repeat until golden.

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to pack instructions. Serve the fish with the chilled pico de gallo, a lime wedge to squeeze over and the rice on the side.
