Ginger-Lime Sea Bass

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro 
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. minced shallot
  • 1 hot chile pepper, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 2 sea bass fillets (each about 3/4-inch thick)

Directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Combine lime juice, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, shallot, chile pepper, and half of the oil in a small bowl.

Place the remaining oil in a baking dish (9-inch size) and spread it evenly on the bottom.

Arrange the fish in a single layer in the dish and turn to coat it in the oil. Season as desired with salt and pepper. Spoon each fillet with a couple teaspoons of the ginger-lime sauce.

Place baking dish in oven and bake at 500 degrees for 12 minutes or until fish is opaque in the center and flakes with a fork.

Drizzle fish with remaining sauce and serve immediately.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before taking it out of the pan.
