Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound Sea Bass (skin on or off)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
pinch Sea Salt
pinch Black Pepper
optional 1/2 cup Chimichurri, see recipe footnotes

Steps:

  • Cut SEA BASS filet down the center to create 2 pieces (1/2 lb. each). Allow to rest 20 minutes at room temp to remove chill.
  • Heat OLIVE OIL in skillet over medium-high until it reaches the smoke point.
  • Place sea bass (skin side down) in the hot skillet. Sprinkle SALT and PEPPER over the filet.
  • If you want crispy skin, press the filet down firmly with a spatula until it becomes visibly crispy. Turn the filet over and allow the non-skin side to sear until the filet is opaque throughout, reducing heat a notch or two as needed.
  • Transfer the filet to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
  • Serve sea bass warm with your favorite salad and side dish. Suggested: serve over salad greens topped with Chimichurri Sauce (see recipe in footnotes).

Chayote and Avocado Salad image

In Mexico and other parts of the world, chayote is usually chopped and cooked until tender. But you can skip the cooking and toss it thinly sliced with avocado, radish and your favorite dressing for a crisp refreshing salad.
