Simple Summer Sea Bass

☀️ 🐟 Simple Summer Sea Bass 🐟 ☀️

How about a colorful dinner that is summery, sustainable, super-easy, and super-tasty? Last summer I shared a simple Grilled Swordfish over a Tomato Cucumber Salad that became quite popular, this summer it’s Chilean Sea Bass over Summer Vegetable Couscous.

Rich, melt-in-the-mouth Chilean Sea Bass aka Patagonian Toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) is simply delicious and almost impossible to overcook due to its flesh high fat content.

And, yes, it is after Labor Day, but it is still officially summer for a few more weeks, and still over 100°F here in Vegas every day… Yesterday was the 70th day reaching at least 105°F in 2024.

Chilean Sea Bass, Mole Coloradito

A little while back, I shared a recipe for Duck and Sweet Potato Enmoladas with a New Mexican Mole inspired by Chef Fernando Olea at Sazón restaurant in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was named Best Chef Southwest 2022 by the James Beard Foundation for his unique interpretation of contemporary and traditional Mexican dishes.

The Chef is famous for his various moles including New Mexican Mole, Mole Verde, Mole Negro, and Mole Coloradito. Not only does the Chef offer a tasting of his exceptional moles at the restaurant, he also sells them online so we can enjoy them at home!

Mole Coloradito is prepared using one of Chef Olea’s traditional family recipes. Incorporating both guajillo and arbol chiles, he creates a harmonizing blend of savory and spice which are combined with tomato, onion, garlic, lime juice and many other ingredients. This somewhat spicier mole pairs wonderfully with pork or white fish.
