Start fresh this 2020 and enjoy your New Year’s resolutions rather than seeing them as a challenge! Chef Brian Newlin, from Bonefish Grill, is here to help you maintain a healthier diet while eating out with their newest recipe, their Avocado Lime Striped Bass which is grilled and brushed with a Spanish style adobo seasoning paired with a wilted kale pepita rice and finished with fresh avocado lime butter.

• The Adobo sauce and avocado butter are great sauces to use on an array of other seafoods and proteins.
• When creating your avocado lime butter, allow it to cool and harden in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. It will also last in your freezer for 3-4 months!
