Chilean-Style Sea Bass with Artichoke Salsa

Some people come back from their in-law's houses with a headache.  Not me, I come back with a handful of Sea Bass and a pound of Roasted Garlic.

Yes, my Father-in-Law is a major foodie; which is alright with me, because I get to reap the benefits.

So here I am on Monday night with nothing in the fridge, but three filets of Sea Bass.  What to do?  I mean, I've never actually made Sea Bass before.  Luckily, I found a great recipe online (which of course, I modified), and it turned out wonderful.

Here's a great recipe that's low in points (about 6 Weight Watcher Points total).  I really like this recipe, but since I don't have Sea Bass around very often, I would like to try it with some other types of fish also.  Maybe cod or even Tilapia?

Note: Make a little extra Artichoke Salsa and water it down with Oil and Balsamic for a delicious, no-effort salad dressing.
