Chilean Sea Bass Recipe
Chilean Sea Bass is a huge part of Chilean cuisine. There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh, juicy sea bass seasoned with a few simple but tasty spices. It’s a very fatty, oily fish that’s served in a variety of different ways
Ingredients
- 2 6 oz Chilean Sea Bass fillets (thawed if previously frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (vegan butter)
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons Capers,
Optional Creamy Garlic Cauliflower Mash
- 32 oz frozen cauliflower, or fresh florets
- ¼ cup Chicken broth
- ¼ cup Ghee or vegan butter
- ¼ cup Full fat coconut cream (just the thick part from a can of coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt, more to taste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- Dry your sea bass fillets and coat with 1 tbsp avocado oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.
- Turn your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet (or another oven-safe skillet).
- Add the fillet's skin side down (if there is skin on them) once the pan is really hot. Cook them for 5 minutes, untouched. Flip them over and cook for 5 minutes more.
- Cook for 5 minutes more in the oven after transferring the skillet. It should be easy to flake at this point.
- Make the cauliflower mash as the fish cooks. Put the frozen cauliflower in a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. Fork easily can pierce the florets after 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- Return the cauliflower to the pot after it has been drained well. You can also add the chicken broth, coconut milk, ghee (or vegan butter), and garlic powder.
- Blend the cauliflower until it is very creamy and thick with an immersion blender (or regular blender).
- Using the microwave or a saucepan, melt the butter (or ghee) for the lemon butter sauce.
- Add the lemon juice and capers after the butter melts. Pour some of the lemon butter caper sauce over the fish and serve it with cauliflower mash. Delicious!
