Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 250g) fresh sea bass fillet
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small lemon
• 0.5 small orange
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 small radishes
• 1 handful microgreens (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by ensuring your sea bass fillet is fresh and skinless. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice the sea bass fillet into thin, even pieces, about 1/4-inch thick. Lay the slices neatly on a serving platter.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, the zest of the lemon, the juice of half of the lemon, the zest of half the orange, and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. Adjust the salt to taste.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil and citrus mixture over the arranged sea bass slices. Ensure each piece gets a touch of the dressing.

Step 5

Season the dish lightly with freshly ground black pepper and an additional pinch of sea salt flakes or as desired.

Step 6

Thinly slice the radishes and scatter them over the sea bass for a touch of crunch and color.

Step 7

Roughly chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the fish. Add the capers evenly across the dish for a burst of acidity.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish the dish with a handful of microgreens for added freshness.

Step 9

Serve the bass crudo immediately, allowing the flavors to remain vibrant and fresh.
