Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound striped bass fillet
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 whole orange
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole avocado
- 0.5 cup microgreens
Instructions
Begin by preparing the striped bass. Using a sharp knife, slice the bass fillet into very thin slices. Arrange the slices on a chilled plate, ensuring they are evenly spread out for even seasoning.
Zest the lemon and orange, being careful to only remove the colorful outer layer and not the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside.
Juice the lemon and orange into a small bowl, ensuring no seeds remain. Combine the citrus juices with the extra-virgin olive oil to make a dressing.
Drizzle the citrus olive oil mixture over the sliced bass evenly, ensuring every piece is coated. This will lightly 'cook' the fish, giving it a delicate citrus flavor.
Sprinkle the lemon and orange zest over the dressed fish slices.
Chop the fresh dill and chives finely, and scatter them onto the crudo, adding a fragrant and herbal layer of flavor.
Add the capers, distributing them evenly across the fish for bursts of briny taste.
Season the crudo with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Slice the avocado thinly and arrange the slices around the bass for a creamy contrast.
Finally, garnish with fresh microgreens for an added crunch and presentation flair.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
