Smoked Sea Bass Salad with Mango and Nuts

The smoked sea bass salad with mango and nuts is a refined and fresh dish, ideal for an appetizer or a light second course. Here’s the recipe.

Ingredients

• 200 g of sliced smoked sea bass
• 1 ripe but still firm mango
• 50 g of mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios)
• Mixed salad greens (lettuce, arugula, radicchio, etc.)
• Juice of 1 lime or lemon
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Start by preparing the salad base: wash and dry the mixed salad leaves and place them on a serving plate.
2. Peel the mango and slice it into strips or dice it, according to your preference.
3. Distribute the mango over the salad.
4. Take the smoked sea bass and arrange it on the bed of salad and mango, trying to distribute the slices harmoniously.
5. In a non-stick pan, lightly toast the nuts without adding fat until they are golden and fragrant. Then let them cool and roughly chop them.
6. Sprinkle the toasted nuts over the sea bass.
7. In a small bowl, emulsify the lime or lemon juice with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
8. Pour the obtained vinaigrette over the salad just before serving to maintain the freshness and crispness of the ingredients.
9. Gently mix when serving to blend the flavors.

Little curiosity: Smoked sea bass is highly appreciated in Italian cuisine for its delicate flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the mango and the crunchiness of the toasted nuts for a contrast of flavors and textures.
