Steps:
- Prepare the Moho Sauce: Mix the garlic and onion in a small bowl with the cumin, salt, and pepper. Place the oil in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until translucent. Add the lime juice and vinegar, then simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. (Makes 2/3 cup.).
- Halve the sea bass fillets crosswise (into 8-ounce pieces).
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the lime juice with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Add the fish and coat well. Marinate for 15 minutes. Remove and pat dry.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- With a very sharp knife, score the skin side of the fish twice diagonally to prevent curling.
- Place the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Sear the fish, skin-side down, over medium heat, holding the fillets down with a spatula until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove fish to an ovenproof dish or skillet and bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, set the Moho Sauce over very low heat and gently heat through.

MISO AND SOY CHILEAN SEA BASS
This Sea Bass will melt in your mouth! Delicious, I had this at Blue Water Grill in NYC and it was by far the best sea bass I've ever had in my life. This recipe is as close as I can get to tasting like the restaurants. They served it with bok choy and sticky rice on the side.

Tips:
- For the Chilean Sea Bass with Moho, try using a medium-sized sea bass fillet to ensure even cooking. To achieve crispy skin and tender flesh, sear the fish in a hot pan with butter and olive oil, then finish it off in the oven. The Moho sauce should be smooth and creamy, made with a combination of evaporated milk, onion, garlic, and spices. Serve the dish with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
- The Pastel de Choclo is a delightful combination of corn and beef. Soak the choclo (corn) in water for at least 2 hours before cooking to soften it. To enhance the flavor, use a flavorful beef broth when cooking the meat and vegetables. The pastel should be baked until the top is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream or salsa.
- Empanadas de Pino are a classic Chilean street food. Prepare the pino filling with ground beef, onions, olives, and hard-boiled eggs for a savory and aromatic taste. Use a simple dough made with flour, water, and salt, and let it rest before rolling and filling it. Fry the empanadas until golden brown and crispy. Serve them with aji sauce for an extra kick.
- The Arroz con Pollo is a flavorful chicken and rice dish. Use bone-in chicken pieces for added flavor and texture. Sauté the chicken with onions, garlic, and spices until golden brown. Then, add the rice and broth, and simmer until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender. Serve the dish with a sprinkle of cilantro and lime wedges.
