PARTNER POST: Dive into the 120 days of summer with Santa Rita wines that pair perfectly with the foods of the season, straight off the grill.
A deliciously fresh summer grilling recipe featuring Latin American flavors and flaky Chilean sea bass.
This Grilled Sea bass recipe perfectly combines my Italian flair with the flavors of Latin America. Italians love to marinate protein with wine and Chilean sea bass is great with this tasty technique. The wine breaks down the tissue allowing the assimilation of the flavors. Lime juice and mixed herbs enhance the taste of the fish. I paired sea bass with crunchy green beans, previously marinated with Kosher salt and garlic, then quickly grilled. This easy recipe is great for your barbecue party! It needs to be marinate only a few hours, which makes it possible to prepare both fish and green beans in advance at home, or directly into a cooler bag.
To marinate a Patagonian fish, I opted for a Chilean wine.
Santa Rita120 Sauvignon Blanc is great to prepare this recipe and to be paired with the fish. Among the many herbs selection, my choice is Badia Complete Seasoning. This herbs, garlic and cumin mix is reminiscent of Latin cuisine and is perfect combined with a drizzle of lime juice.
