Ingredients

For the Green Sauce:

•2 celery stalks, roughly chopped

•2 cups packed fresh cilantro

•1 leek (dark green top only), roughly chopped

•Juice of 1/2 lemon

•Pinch of kosher salt

•4 pieces (4 ounces each) Chilean sea bass

•Kosher salt

•2 tablespoons olive oil

•1/2 cup Greek yogurt

•Cilantro sprigs for garnish

Instructions

►Make the Green Sauce: Puree all ingredients in blender until smooth. Pour into a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Let sit, stirring mixture in strainer occasionally so all juice drains into bowl; discard solids.

►Place potatoes in medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high 4 minutes or until tender (or boil potatoes on stovetop, if desired).

►Heat large skillet over medium-high heat until skillet is very hot. Pat fish dry with paper towel and season with salt. Pour oil in pan; place fish skin side-down in pan. Cook 4 minutes or until skin is very crisp. Turn and cook 2 minutes longer. Transfer fish to plate.

►Place scallions in same skillet; cook 1 minute or until slightly softened and charred in spots.

►Divide yogurt, potatoes, fish and scallions between 4 plates. Spoon green juice around fish and garnish with cilantro.
