For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of saffron to the mayonnaise mixture. If you don't have Hatch chiles, you can substitute with another mild pepper, such as poblano or Anaheim. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts for topping – slivered almonds or chopped pistachios would also be delicious. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy almond topping and tender sea bass.
