Macadamia Nut Crusted Chilean Sea Bass with Vanilla Lime Butter Sauce
Chilean sea bass isn’t something you find in Kansas City very often, even at the most well-stocked Whole Foods in the city, but thanks to my good friends at Mazzetta Company — a seafood company I’ve fallen in love with over the last couple of months — I am fully stocked with enough chilean sea bass to last me through winter.

Zest of 1 lime, plus more for garnish
