Chilli lime Sea Bass with mango salsa is a fresh and delicious meal – super quick to prepare, light, healthy and full of flavour.

Sea bass with mango salsa

I love sea bass – it’s such a delicious, delicate fish. It has become very ‘trendy’ in restaurants, but don’t let that scare you. It’s actually incredibly easy to cook, and goes well with a variety of different flavours. This sweet and zingy mango salsa pairs perfectly with the chilli lime sea bass.

To Make the Mango Salsa

First, peel and dice a mango (this guide is really helpful if you find mangoes daunting). Add the mango to a bowl with a finely diced red onion, a diced red or orange pepper and one diced chilli. Add a tablespoon of fresh chopped coriander and the juice of one lime. Toss to combine and add salt to taste. That’s it!

For the Chilli Lime Marinade

Marinade is actually a bit of an exaggeration, as you only need to coat the fish with the sauce just before cooking. Simply mix the juice of one lime with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of chilli flakes, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of chopped coriander. Sprinkle the fish with a little salt and pepper then brush the marinade over both sides of the fillets as you are ready to cook.

How to Pan Fry the Sea Bass Fillets

I find pan frying to be the best way to cook sea bass fillets – it’s SO quick and easy. Simply heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and very lightly grease it (I recommend just spray of cooking oil). Add the sea bass fillets, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then flip the fillets carefully with a fish slice and cook on the other side for a further minute until the flesh of the fish is opaque.

Serve the sea bass with a generous helping of mango salsa and some rice or green salad.

Tips and FAQs

  • Coriander hater? Swap it out for some fresh chopped parsley.
  • Can’t handle chilli? The amounts I’ve used here mean both the fish and salsa are quite mild (trust me, my husband cannot handle spice at all). But do feel free to leave the chilli out.
  • Can I make this in advance? The salsa, definitely! It will keep covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. The sea bass really needs to be eaten as soon as it’s cooked, but luckily it’s super quick.
  • Gluten Free? Just sub the soy sauce for tamari or a gluten free version.
  • What do you serve this dish with? I love it with white rice but to keep it light serve with a simple green salad. Quinoa or couscous would also be lovely.

      First of all I was delighted to find an excellent recipe for exactly what I wanted to cook. Secondly, it didn’t disappoint. Quick & easy to prepare as well as vibrant & delicious. Mango salsa compliments the delicate sea bass perfectly.

      The recipe itself is well-written & easy to follow. Perfect for an evening meal at the end of a busy day.

      This is now one of my home menu staples. It is delicious! So simple to make; I actually used fresh frozen chunks of mango. I’ve made it with fresh frozen wild-caught seabass both with the skin on and without the skin, depending on availability: I found them equally good. I’ve made this for company and I’ve made it for my book club and it receives rave responses. I have made the salsa and the marinade ahead of time, which makes it very enjoyabke to cook and serve for company present—I don’t know about the rest of you but if I have to think too hard in preparing a meal with company sitting at my counter visiting, I tend to mismeasure or omit an ingredient or cheat the conversation, yikes!

      This is a true go-to recipe; with frozen fiah and mangos typically on hand in my freezer, I can usually whip it out on the fly. So pleasant!
