Summer Sea Bass

Suffice it to say, my Summer evenings are spent dining al fresco as much as possible but sometimes (mostly Sundays), there is nothing better than cooking a seasonally appropriate meal inside.  Tonite I prepared sea bass with a tomato and avocado salsa that was dinner party worthy and SO simple. 

You'll only need 4 ingredients (minus salt, pep & evoo) and 30 minutes to prep and cook - can't beat that!

Ingredients

1 medium-ripe avocado, peeled and cut into 1/2" dice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, divided

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 6-oz sea bass fillets

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Combine avocado, tomatoes, 1 Tbsp. oil & 1 Tbsp. lime juice in a medium mixing bowl.  Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside at room temperature.
3. Place fish in an appropriately sized glass baking dish.  Put remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and 2 Tbsp. lime juice on top of fish.  Season with salt and pepper and let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
4. Place piece of aluminum foil on baking sheet and arrange fish on foil.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until sea bass is flaky and has a golden brown crust on top.
5. Transfer to plates and top with tomato and avocado salsa.
