Lemony Dukkah-Crusted Sea Bass with Smashed Peas

The crunchy Dukkah, creamy peas, and zippy sauce have just the right balance for the luxurious, meltingly tender texture of wild-caught Chilean sea bass. If you can't find sea bass any sturdy white fish will do.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 5 large garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of 2 large lemons (about 1/2 cup)
  • extra virgin olive oil (about 1/3 cup)
  • 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 2 small shallots, minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds skin on Chilean sea bass filets
  • 6 tablespoons dukkah
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Get ready. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, and enough olive oil to coat the fish (I use 1/3 cup).
  3. Make a bed for the fish. In a 9 x13-inch baking dish, place the thawed peas and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Using the back of a fork, lightly mash the peas. Add the shallots and 1/4 cup of the lemon-garlic sauce. Mix to combine, then spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  4. Flavor the fish. Nestle the fish, skin side down, in the pea mixture. Season the top of the fish with salt and pepper, then pour the remaining sauce over the fish. Top with 5 tablespoons of dukkah, pressing the dukkah down with the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake the fish. Place the dish on the center rack and bake until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. This should take about 15 minutes, but start checking earlier as this will depend on the thickness of your fillet.
  6. Finish and serve. Garnish with the parsley and remaining dukkah. Serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
