How to Make Sea Bass With Spicy Roasted Bell Pepper Sauce
- Roast bell peppers: If using fresh peppers, char them over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened on all sides. Alternatively, use 3 large pre-roasted peppers from a jar.
- Cool and peel: Place the charred peppers in a closed paper bag for 10 minutes to steam. Then, peel and remove the seeds.
- Prepare the sauce: Add the peeled peppers to a food processor. Add almonds, 6 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Blend: Process until the almonds are finely ground and the peppers are almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the sea bass: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the fish: Add the sea bass fillets to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and opaque in the center.
- Serve: Transfer the sea bass to plates. Top each fillet generously with the spicy bell pepper sauce. Serve immediately with any remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
- (Optional): Serve with crusty bread or your favorite pasta for a complete meal.
