Curtis Stone adds some Southern Christmas cheer to this Pineapple Glazed Sea Bass Recipe.
The key to this recipe is the pineapple glaze along with the avocado & mango salad, it is such a refreshing use of the ingredients that it would find a grateful home on every lunch table it appears on during the summer.
Grilling those slightly under rip avocados is a brilliant idea and also supports the how to ripen avocado’s in 10 minutes video!
Sea Bass is on the SASSI Red List so please find another option. As Curtis is using Barramundi (which is of the same family, Sea Bass) we have kept the recipe as per the original. You could use practically any white fish for this.
This recipe would also work well on the braai or barbecue, basting the fish with the pineapple glaze as you go.
