Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup thinly slivered onion
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 fillets of chilean sea bass (about 1 pound each)
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and pressed
1 ripe avocado, for serving
3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

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.
  • Peel and slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit and slice each half into thin slices lengthwise.
  • To serve, place a fish fillet in the center of 4 dinner plates. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of Moho Sauce atop each fillet. Fan 3 or 4 slices of avocado atop each serving and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Place a bowl of the extra cilantro and a bowl of Moho Sauce on the table.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I used shrimp instead of the Chilean sea bass. It turned out great! The moho sauce is also very versatile. I added a bit of extra spice to give it a kick.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my moho sauce turned out really watery. It didn't have the thick and creamy consistency that I was expecting.

The moho sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less lime juice next time. Otherwise, the recipe is great!

I love how versatile this recipe is. I didn't have any sea bass on hand, so I used tilapia instead. It worked out great! The moho sauce is also very adaptable. I added a bit of extra spice to give it a kick.

I followed the recipe to a T, but my sea bass came out a bit dry. Not sure what went wrong, but I'll give it another try. The sauce was delicious though!

The moho sauce was the star of the show. It had just the right amount of heat and tang, and it complemented the mild flavor of the sea bass beautifully. I'll definitely be making this dish again!
