Steps

  • Lightly score the skin of the sea bass with a sharp knife.
  • Pound the peanuts, ginger, garlic, and holy basil in a mortar to form a paste.
  • Mix most of the oil into the paste and rub it over the fish fillets.
  • Chill the covered sea bass in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Fry the fillets skin-side down in the remaining oil for 3 minutes per side.
  • Blend the dressing ingredients except passion fruit until smooth, then stir in the pulp.
  • Soak noodles in boiling water for five minutes, drain, and refresh in cold water.
  • Toss noodles with two-thirds of the dressing, coconut, onions, and basil.
  • Top noodle mounds with sea bass and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
