Grilled Seabass with Caramelized Brussels Sprouts Recipe

If there are two in the kitchen, then this is the recipe to choose to test your partnership skills. How well you work together will determine the quality of your finished plate.

Choose a white wine to go with the event, take a small sip, and set to work - one focusing on the sea bass, the other with the intent to make the most amazing caramelized Brussels sprouts ever.

If you are going this alone, creating a super meal for 6, start with the sprouts, since they will take longer to clean and cook than the fish.

Wild-caught Asian and Atlantic sea bass both have light and tender meat, while the garlic-ghee sauce with a hint of paprika and onion serves the fish a nice compliment. It may not seem like a wonderful combination upon first hearing, but bass and Brussels sprouts are a thing, and an indescribably wonderful one at that.

Here is a top-secret tip: while caramelizing the sprouts, you may even want to toss in a small amount of chopped pancetta - it really adds that special touch. Top that with a handful of chopped pistachios, and you are ready to sink your teeth into a meal like no other.

Another way to make this meal superlicious is to make a batch of Lacto-fermented lemons. Once you begin your fermenting journey, everything you prepare, and serve, will be unique beyond belief.
