I love Sea Bass and think this zesty and spicy mango salad goes perfectly with the fish when it is fried until golden and crispy. I like to serve it with black rice. (To make it I pop 1/2 cup of black rice and 1/2 cup of jasmine rice in my rice cooker with 1 and 1/2 cup of water.)

Recipe for 2 people:
1-2 whole sea bass (1/2 a fish per person for a lighter meal)
1 ripe mango
1-2 birds eye chillies (1/2 a chilli for a mild taste)
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 clove of garlic
A large handful of coriander
Vegetable oil for frying
A pinch of salt for extra crispy fish

Method:

Score three lines on to each side of the Sea Bass and fry in a saucepan or frying pan of vegetable oil on a medium to high heat. Add a sprinkle of salt to the oil for extra crispy fish.

After a few minutes turn the fish and cook the other side.

When both sides are golden and crispy, set on a couple of sheets of kitchen roll to absorb any oil that seeps out.

Using the special peeler (pictured below) peel the mango as close to the pip as possible. If you don’t have a similar peeler, cut the mango in to thin slices.

Finely chop the garlic and birds eye chilli(es).

Pound the garlic and chilli using a pestle and mortar. Add the fish sauce, lime juice and granulated sugar.

Sprinkle on the coriander on top of the mango, add the dressing and serve with the fish and rice.
