SOY SEARED SEA BASS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• For the fish, mix soy, teriyaki & brown sugar thoroughly. Place portions of sea bass in mixture and make sure fish is either completely covered, or turn frequently. Marinate up to 2 hours; no less than a half hour.
• For the salsa, prep all ingredients and toss together until fully mixed. Set aside while fish is being cooked.
• After marinating fish, in a large saute pan, heat about 1/8" oil over high heat. (Make sure oil coats the entire bottom--this gets a bit sticky without the proper coating.).
• Once oil "pops," cook sea bass until soy is well caramelized on fish, turning a dark brown and releasing from the pan, then flip over and continue until fish is done, flaking easily when pierced with a fork.
• (I will not tell you how long, because it really, REALLY depends on the thickness of the fish pieces. Just watch it carefully!).
• Hold fish on a cooling rack in a warm (170 -200 degree) oven until ready to serve, best when done immediately.
• Serve with salsa and a few avocado wedges if you want to get fancy.
