Pan Roasted Chilean Sea Bass with Red Pepper Sauce

Pan Roasted Chilean Sea Bass. We dropped off the ladies (the 2 2-leggers and the one 4-legger) with my in-legal guidelines the day prior to this and we’re feeling a piece bare. Naked and relaxed. The irony with kids is you dream about a touch time away and the second they’re gone, you miss them like crazy. There’s truly no winning, I let you know!

But anyway, we went to a drag show for my mom’s birthday final night time which becomes lots of fun. And these days, we’re off for Spring Break. Heck-to-the-yes.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
• 2 lbs Chilean Sea Bass
• ½ tsp salt and pepper, divided

3. Add water, stir, and cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Turn heat to medium and allow to cook 5-7 minutes.
4. Transferred pepper mixture to a food processor or blender, add balsamic vinegar and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Pulse until smooth and plate onto each of several shallow bowls for serving.
