SEA BASS CRUDO WITH VANILLA OIL, ENGLISH PEAS, AND MINT

Steps:

• To make the vanilla oil, split the bean lengthwise and, using the flat edge of a knife, scrape the seeds from the inside. Combine the seeds with the olive oil in a small squeeze bottle and shake vigorously.
• Slice the sea bass into 1/4-inch slices; each person should have about 3 ounces of fish.
• Rub the bottoms of 4 shallow bowls with a bit of the vanilla oil. Arrange the fish on top in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt. Scatter the peas evenly over the fish.
• Roll the mint leaves into a tight cigar shape and cut into a chiffonade. Sprinkle the mint over the peas and fish. Drizzle each with vanilla oil and squeeze about 1 teaspoon lemon juice over each. Serve immediately.
