Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium fresh tomatillo, husk removed, rinsed well, cut into small dice
1/2 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into small dice
1/2 serrano, seeded and cut into fine dice
1/4 small head fennel, cut into julienne
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced against the grain
1 tablespoon canola oil
Juice of 1/2 fresh lime
Touch of red wine vinegar
Honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Canola oil
1 black sea bass, cut into 4- to 6-ounce fillets, skin on, slits cut into skin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
Extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing

Steps:

  • For the relish: Combine the tomatillo, avocado, serrano, fennel and onions in a medium bowl. Drizzle with the canola oil, lime juice, vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper, and fold in the cilantro.
  • For the crispy skin fish: Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add some canola oil and heat until hot and smoking.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay the fish in the hot pan, skin-side down, pressing down with your fish spatula. Add the butter to the pan and let melt. When the edges of the fish look golden brown and crispy, after 3 minutes, flip the fish. Reduce the heat and cook another 2 minutes. Using a spoon, baste the crispy skin with some of the butter.
  • Remove the fish to a plate. Serve with the relish. Finish with some extra-virgin olive oil.

This recipe was a total disaster! The fish was overcooked and the relish was way too sour. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe with fewer ingredients. The relish was also a bit too tangy for my taste.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the bass had been cooked for a little bit longer. The relish was good, but it didn't really do much to offset the fishiness of the bass.
