SEA BASS WITH LIME AïOLI image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

To Garnish
4 large potatoes, unpeeled and thinly sliced
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 sea bass fillets, about 6–8 oz each, pin-boned
salt and pepper
4–6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 egg yolks
juice and finely grated zest of 2 limes
1¼ cups extra virgin olive oil
broiled lime slices
snipped chives

Steps:

  • 1. Make the aïoli. Place the garlic and egg yolks in a food processor or blender, add the lime juice, and blend briefly to mix. With the machine running, gradually add the extra virgin olive oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture forms a thick cream. Turn into a bowl, stir in the lime zest, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 2. Brush the potato slices well with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on a broiler rack. Cook under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until tender and golden. Remove from the heat and keep warm. 3. Score the sea bass fillets and brush well with the remaining olive oil, then place them on the broiler rack, skin-side down. Broil for 3–4 minutes until just cooked, turning once. Remove from the heat, garnish with broiled lime slices and snipped chives, and serve with the potatoes and the aïoli.
