Main dish? Me? I don't cook! I bake. It was time to call in reinforcements.
My husband.
They sent me Challenge Butter and a selection of spices, all of which were to be used in the recipe.
So, I give to you...the results of my husband's challenge.
Chipotle Herb Crusted Sea Bass
1 bunch green onions2 T. ground chipotle, or to taste
1/4 tsp fennel seed
1/2 tsp beau monde
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
1/4 cup softened Challenge butter
Juice of one lime
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup Japanese bread crumbs
4 (6oz) sea bass fillets
Add all ingredients to blender or food processor except for fish and bread crumbs. Puree until smooth.
Sprinkle a bit of salt onto fish fillets.
Spread herb paste all over fish; coat liberally.
Cover herb paste with Japanese bread crumbs.
Heat up non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add 2 T. vegetable oil and 1 T. Challenge butter
Add fish fillets. Fry fish 3 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.
Serve it up and enjoy!

Challenge Butter is 100% natural, by the way. No artificial anything and it doesn't come from cows treated with rbST either! It's pure sweet cream butter and it is gooooood.
Challenge Dairy is currently running an amazing sweepstakes! Be sure to enter for a chance to win a 7-day/6-night trip for 4 people to the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Montana’s Paradise Valley, just North of Yellowstone National Park.
Thank you to Challenge Dairy for providing the ingredients for the recipe. No other compensation was received. This post is based on my own personal opinions and experiences.

Sounds delicious!!! BRAVO to your hubby!
sounds yum and easy..but you lost me at beau monde. thanks for the tip on excluding the fillets from the ingredients to blend. it definitely would yield a result different from your own, which looks fantastic.
Yum! We would make a good team. I love the cook and am terrible at baking. I don't like to measure.
Looks tasty! Try "buttering up" the judges!
Thanks!

That sounds wonderful! Challenge is the butter I use to cook too!
Looks like you all did a beautiful job! Guess he must cook from now on:)
your husband has serious skills. That looks great!
I give it a 10!! Difficult without actually tasting it, but the lemon wedge and parsley garnish push it over the top. Excellent!
I'll be looking for that butter for sure...
Good job to you for going to your hubby and good job to him for a great recipe!
Hubby would love this. I might have to make it for him. Butter is a good thing.
Oh man! thank goodness for husbands. *sometimes* Mine has had to save me from similar projects.
Anyhow, I think our antennas are in sync because I am going through comments of blogs I follow and checking out the gals I see frequenting the same blogs I do. And you were NEXT. But you followed me like one minute before I clicked your follow button.
Yay for clicking each others buttons.
Hey visiting from Sits! Happy Saturday. Hubby's dish looks great! Congrats to you both!

Yummy recipe and boy oh boy would I love to try that butter too! :-)
Hmm, I might just try that recipe! :)
During a season when I'm trying to avoid food in general...this did not help:)
Well, crap. Challenge Butter is not available in GA. Sheesh! But I will say this...that fish looks so good. :)
Wow, that fish sounds reeeeaallly good! Will you send your husband over to make it for me? I'm like you...forget the main course, I'm the baker.
Well, for not being a cook... YOU ROCKED IT!! That looks wonderful. It helps to have a handy husband around as well.
I'm hungry now...
holy shit! i want to EAT THIS! i have to remember to print this recipe out on monday when at work (i am a loser that doesn't have a printer at home).

You're rocking the butter! Remember Julia Childs always say it's better with butter :)
Great recipe! Thanks!
