Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert, Prep Time: 30 minutes, Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 400 grams of Sea Bass
• 3 tablespoons of Lime Juice
• 1 medium Red Onion, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped Cilantro
• 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
• 1 Aji Pepper, finely chopped
• 400 grams of Sweet Potato, peeled and chopped
• 200 grams of Corn, boiled until tender
• 30 ml of Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon of Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of Pepper

Method

• Marinate the Sea Bass in lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and aji pepper. Let it rest for 20 minutes in the refrigerator to absorb flavors.
• Boil the chopped sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with a fork to create a smooth purée. Add a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
• In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté the red onion until translucent. Add the boiled corn and sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
• In the same pan, sear the marinated Sea Bass. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
• Plate the dish by placing a generous scoop of sweet potato purée on each serving dish. Add the seared Sea Bass on top, followed by the sautéed corn and onion mixture. Garnish with additional cilantro.

Tips

• To enhance the flavors, let the Sea Bass marinate for an additional 10 minutes.
• For a creamier sweet potato purée, add a dollop of olive oil while mashing.
