Grilled Seabass with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce and Colcannon

If I asked you where all the ingredients for this Grilled Seabass with Lemon Garlic Butter and Colcannon came from I’ll bet not many of you would say Iceland but that’s exactly where I bought them! Having been challenged to “Go Frozen with Iceland” I couldn’t wait to visit my nearest store and see what was new as I have to admit I hadn’t been in a while! The #PowerofFrozen message is all about telling consumers that not only is Iceland food about convenience and waste/cost saving but with advanced freezing techniques it’s also about locking in the natural flavours and nutrients.

I wasn’t sure what I was going to make when I ventured into Iceland but as soon as I walked up the first aisle the gorgeous bags of frozen Seabass just called out to me. I can’t remember ever seeing frozen Seabass for sale and I’ve never bought it fresh as it’s usually so expensive! I decided to walk around the rest of the store looking for inspiration and pondered over the Crocodile Burgers and the Ostrich Fillets which I was very surprised to see! Delving deeper into the store I was very happy to come across frozen Kale which again I’d never seen and being a big Kale fan I suddenly knew what dish I was going to make! One of my favourite dishes I’ve eaten out in the past is Grilled Seabass with a Pea Mash so I based my idea loosely around this. I knew frozen mash was a thing and it wasn’t long before I came across frozen onions so these were the ingredients I needed for my Colcannon. Amongst the boxes of frozen herbs I found chopped garlic for my sauce which I would pair with lemon and butter (both also available in Iceland but I already had these at home).

I couldn’t wait to get home and create my restaurant style meal. The whole family loved this Grilled Seabass with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce and hubby was really impressed and couldn’t believe that I’d made the meal with just ingredients from Iceland. In fact he have me 9.5 out of 10. I lost half a point as his plate was the one in the photograph so wasn’t quite as hot as it could have been! (Don’t marry a food blogger if you want hot dinners)! I have to say I was very pleased as the whole meal was so easy to prepare and ready in half an hour plus good enough to entertain with! I’ll be going back to Iceland next week as I want to explore the luscious looking speciality breads/pastries as well as the fruits and gelato that I saw but knew I had no more room in the freezer!
