Prepare the Fish:
Start by cleaning the sea bass. Use a sharp knife to make an incision along the back, then carefully remove the entrails. Rinse the fish under cold running water to ensure all the insides are cleaned thoroughly. Next, scale the fish using a fish scaler or the back of a knife to remove all the scales.βLink To Shareβ is your all-in-one marketing platform, making it easy and professional to direct your audience to everything you offer. β’ Modern, customizable bio pages β’ Link shortening with advanced analytics β’ Interactive, brandable QR codes β’ Host static sites and manage your code β’ Multiple web tools to grow your business -
Fillet the Fish:
Place the fish on a clean surface and, with a sharp filleting knife, carefully cut along the backbone from the top to the tail. This will yield two fillets per sea bass. Using kitchen tweezers, remove any remaining bones from the fillets. -
Prepare the Tomatoes:
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them into quarters. Set them aside in a bowl. -
Vanilla Bean Preparation:
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the tip of a knife. Add the vanilla seeds to the tomatoes. -
Season the Tomatoes:
In the same bowl with the tomatoes, add olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine the flavors. -
Prepare the Avocado Sauce:
Cut one of the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out about 2/3 of the flesh and place it in a small bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork until smooth. Add the skyr yogurt to the mashed avocado and mix thoroughly to create a creamy sauce. -
Cube the Second Avocado:
Take the remaining avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Place the cubes in a separate small bowl, and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning. -
Grill the Fish:
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill with some extra virgin olive oil. Once the pan is hot, place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and cooked through. -
Assemble the Dish:
To serve, place a dollop of the creamy avocado sauce in the center of each plate. Arrange the grilled sea bass fillets on top of the sauce. Scatter the diced avocado cubes and the seasoned cherry tomatoes around the fish. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a handful of mixed salad greens. -
Finishing Touch:
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the fish and vegetables for added flavor, and serve immediately while hot.
