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 dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the fish was a bit overcooked. I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I had a hard time finding black sea bass, so I used a different type of fish. The recipe still turned out great!

I wasn't a fan of the relish, but the fish itself was cooked perfectly. I would try this recipe again, but I would omit the relish.

The flavors in this dish were incredible. The crispy skin on the fish was the perfect contrast to the soft and flaky flesh. The relish was also a great addition, adding a bit of brightness and acidity to the dish.

This black sea bass recipe was divine! The skin was crispy and flavorful, while the flesh was moist and flaky. The avocado-tomatillo-fennel relish was a perfect complement, adding a bright and tangy flavor to the dish. I would highly recommend this r
