Method

For the Chilean Sea Bass

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Season the Chilean sea bass fillets with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.

For the Boursin Potato Cake

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and boil the russet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. 4

    Mix the Cake Batter

    In a large bowl, mash the potatoes. Add Boursin cheese, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 5

    Cook the Potato Cakes

    In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of potato mixture and form it into a patty. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat for the remaining batter.

For the Charred Broccolini

  1. 6

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Trim the ends of the broccolini and rinse under cold water.

  2. 7

    Char the Broccolini

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add broccolini, season with salt and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until charred and tender.

For the Black Garlic Aioli

  1. 8

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mash black garlic cloves with a fork. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, and season with salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.
