Sea Bass with Citrus Salsa

Dinner-party elegance in a 20-minute dish? It’s possible, when you start with great ingredients that require little embellishment. Here, we use sea bass, a tender, mild-flavored fish with a lovely buttery quality. There are several sustainable options to choose from (Atlantic black sea bass, for one), so ask your fishmonger to ensure you’re making a responsible choice. You can also use cod, sablefish (also called black cod), striped bass, or barramundi with great results. Any of these white-fleshed fish will take well to the bright flavors of the simple grapefruit-and-orange topping.

Ingredients

2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided 1/2 teaspoon paprika 4 (6-oz.) skinless sea bass fillets 1 small pink grapefruit 1 small navel orange 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic 1/4 cup thinly vertically sliced white onion

Step 1
Preheat broiler to high with oven rack 6 to 8 inches from heat.

Step 2
Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and paprika. Place fish on a baking sheet; rub with paprika mixture. Broil fish until beginning to brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Keep warm.

Step 3
Peel grapefruit and orange. Using a small knife, cut fruit into segments, and coarsely chop. Whisk together cilantro, lime juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; stir in onion and citrus segments. Spoon salsa over fish.
