I think of the summer I spent traveling the coast of central Chile. I think of the intense sensations I would feel on my morning walks down the beach. The smell of ocean air the surrounded me. The feel of the crisp breeze against my skin. The sound of gulls cawing, and the fishboats' bells ringing as they come into shore from a night of angling. The cool sand under my feet, and the yells from a local market "congrio! congrio!, sole! sole!" I could smell the fresh fish hitting a sizzling skillet over a wood fire. This dish is my dedication to that summer.

The whitefish filets are from the northern lake michigan I bought from a local purveyor. The vegetables and herbs are from an organic urban garden in the West Town neighborhood.
