Seared sea bass over cauliflower rice with an edamame puree
This is an original recipe I came up with because I love creating new dishes. The sea bass has a nice crust and a flaking texture. The fish also has a nice combination of salt and pepper. The rice has a nice balance of natural sweetness and salt. The edamame puree is a nice elevated way to have edamame. The puree is a nice balance of acidity from the lemon juice, salt, spice from the chipotle powder and garlic, and creaminess from the oil and water.
