Today on The Stay At Home Chef
I'm showing you how to make Quick and Easy Sea Bass with Avocado Salsa.
This is a super quick and easy way to make sea bass,
and it's also healthy and totally delicious.
You'll need 4 portions of sea bass,
and you can see this is a nice beautiful thick white fish,
or you can use any other similar white fish.
For the flavoring on the fish you'll need 1 tablespoon of olive oil,
2 teaspoons of soy sauce, which will provide our salt content for this,
2 tablespoons of melted butter,
and 1/2 teaspoon of a ground ginger, so it has a little bit of an Asian flair here.
I'm gonna whisk this together.
Then just drizzle this over your fish in a shallow dish.
There's no need to submerge or anything.
This is enough liquid.
Swirl the fish around in it.
The soy sauce makes it really easy to tell which parts of the fish are not coated,
so get the whole thing coated.
Pop the fish into the fridge until you're ready to cook.
You don't want to let it sit longer than about 15 to 20 minutes.
For the avocado salsa you'll need some freshly chopped cilantro,
some minced jalapeño,
and I recommend using just a little bit on that,
some freshly squeezed lime juice,
and then you'll need to dice 1-2 avocados.
So I'm going to slice them into quarters,
remove the peel and then dice.
And since this is going on top of our fish I want to dice it nice and small.
Then get all of that diced avocado into a little mixing bowl.
Pour in a little bit of that lime juice so the avocados don't turn brown.
A little bit of that fresh cilantro,
a little bit of that jalapeño for a kick,
a generous pinch of salt,
then toss this together.
Next we're ready to cook our fish.
You'll need a large heavy skillet,
and when I'm making fish I like to use either well-seasoned cast iron,
or a nonstick pan.
You'll want to heat the pan over medium-high heat.
The fish is super easy to cook.
No need to add any extra oil or anything to the pan because we have that marinade.
So you'll slide them into the skillet,
and at this thickness they'll take about 4 minutes per side to cook.
Now if they came with the skin on you start them with a skin side down.
Like I said it's about 4 minutes per side.
Don't worry these modern non stick pans can handle metal against the pan.
Once the fish is seared reduce the heat to medium-low and let it finish cooking
until the middle is cooked through and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Then when we're ready to eat you'll plate your fish.
Slide it down on a plate and spoon on some of that avocado salsa on top.
And that's it!
You're ready to eat!
You can serve it up just like this,
you can throw in a little more chopped cilantro for garnish,
maybe even some red pepper flakes if you want a kick,
but this one is so easy and so delicious.
