Instructions
- Season sea bass with salt and pepper and set aside
- In a food processor add spinach, parsley, garlic, walnuts, lemon juice, 1/4 cup EVOO, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Pulse 2 to 3 times. Add avocado and pulse until well blended but the sauce retains some texture.

- Place lemon pieces, cut side down, in pan and turn heat to high. Sear lemon for 1 minute.
- Serve sea bass on the bed of green beans and top with the spinach avocado pesto and seared lemon. Garnish with additional parsley and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
This is a fresh tasting delicious dish that is easy to prepare and classy enough to impress. I squeezed the seared lemon over the fish and it gave a delightful tangy flavor that was spot on. I found the original recipe on Delish and just made a couple of minor adjustments.
