Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

2. Mash the Potatoes

Add milk and 2 tablespoons of butter to the drained potatoes. Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3. Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasonal vegetables and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Sear the Chilean Sea Bass

Season the sea bass fillets with salt and black pepper. In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

5. Add Lemon Butter

Carefully flip the fillets and add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning the melted butter over the fish.

6. Plate the Dish

On each plate, serve a portion of mashed potatoes, topped with the sautéed vegetables. Place a seared Chilean sea bass fillet on top and drizzle with the lemon butter sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
