Southwestern Sea Bass

By Derrick Riches, About.com

This is a great way to turn simple fish fillets into a delicious meal. The sea bass is lightly seasoned, allowing the flavor of the fish to come through. To top it off, the fish is served up with a great corn salsa with grilled bell peppers.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 6-8 ounce sea bass fillets
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 6 tomatillos, diced
  • 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1 poblano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

To make salsa combine corn, tomatillos, pumpkin seeds, chile, lime juice and cumin in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Preheat grill. Remove stem and seeds from bell pepper. Cut in half lengthwise and brush with a little oil. Place on grill and cook until the skin starts to bubble and blacken. Remove from grill and cut into thin strips. Season fillets with a little salt and pepper and place on grill. Grill until flaky and cooked through to the center. Serve with salsa and pepper strips.
