Ingredients: 2 sea bass fillets (7 oz each), skin on, patted dry; 5 oz yellow potatoes, peeled & cubed; ½ ripe avocado, peeled & pitted; 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided; 1 tbsp ají amarillo paste (or 1 tsp turmeric + ¼ tsp cumin); 1 garlic clove, minced; 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 2 tbsp whole milk or light cream; salt & white pepper to taste; 8–10 fresh shishito peppers; 1 tbsp black olive oil (or fruity extra-virgin); 1 tbsp unsalted butter; 1 tsp red pepper flakes; fleur de sel; 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped; thin lime slices for garnish

A silky causa limeña purée (the classic Peruvian potato-avocado sauce, reimagined as a velouté) pools beneath a perfectly seared sea bass fillet with skin crackle. Charred shishito peppers and a fruity black olive oil finish the plate with smoke and minerality. Sophisticated and deeply flavored—a dish that honors Peru with a confident hand.
