Method

1.Slice 2 garlic cloves and mix in a dish with oregano and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season the fish, then add to the dish and turn to coat in the mixture. Set aside to marinate while you make the beans.

2.Finely chop remaining 4 garlic cloves. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic, pancetta and eschalot. Cook, stirring, for 6 minutes until starting to colour. Add beans, rosemary and stock, increase heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until stock is almost all absorbed. Remove and discard rosemary sprigs.

3.Remove 1 cup of the bean mixture to a bowl, mash roughly with a fork, then return to pan and stir for a further minute. Stir in the parsley and cover to keep warm.

4.Heat a chargrill or frypan over high heat. Cook fish for 2 minutes on each side until seared but still pink in the middle, or until done to your liking. Serve the fish on a bed of braised beans. Garnish with extra parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
