Chilean Sea Bass With Mustard Recipes

PAN SEARED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Cut SEA BASS filet down the center to create 2 pieces (1/2 lb. each). Allow to rest 20 minutes at room temp to remove chill.
• Heat OLIVE OIL in skillet over medium-high until it reaches the smoke point.
• Place sea bass (skin side down) in the hot skillet. Sprinkle SALT and PEPPER over the filet.
• If you want crispy skin, press the filet down firmly with a spatula until it becomes visibly crispy. Turn the filet over and allow the non-skin side to sear until the filet is opaque throughout, reducing heat a notch or two as needed.
• Transfer the filet to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
• Serve sea bass warm with your favorite salad and side dish. Suggested: serve over salad greens topped with Chimichurri Sauce (see recipe in footnotes).

BAKED CHILEAN SEA BASS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
• Arrange sea bass fillets in a stoneware baking dish, with space between them. Use paper towels to pat them dry.
• Brush the fish fillets on both sides with the olive oil mixture. Season both sides with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the sea bass internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F, or the fish flakes easily with a fork. (For best results, use an instant-read thermometer -- it's done when it reaches 135 to 140 degrees F.)
• Meanwhile, in a very small saucepan (about 5 inches in diameter) over medium-high heat, combine the shallot, wine, & vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until the volume is reduced to about 1/4 of the original amount (approximately 2 tablespoons should be left).
• Stir in the heavy cream and lemon zest.
• Reduce heat to low. Add 2-3 cubes of very cold butter, stirring constantly until it melts. Continue to add butter 2-3 cubes at a time, stirring and letting it melt after each addition. Keep heat very low and avoid boiling, or the sauce will separate.
• Season with sea salt to taste.
• Serve sauce over baked sea bass immediately, or keep warm in a thermos or in the hot pan on the stove (with heat turned off) for up to 30-60 minutes. The sauce can split if it overheats or cools too much, so keep it warm but not hot.

• Cover the pan and turn heat to low for 6-8 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.

CHILEAN SEA BASS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in large resealable plastic bag. Add combined dressing and Parmesan cheese; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat fish with the dressing mixture. Marinate in refrigerator until ready to use.
• Thread chorizo and garlic evenly onto skewers. Grill 7 to 8 min. or until chorizo is cooked through, turning occasionally. Remove chorizo and garlic from skewers; cut into thin slices. Place in small saucepan. Add tomatoes and oregano; mix well. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 min., stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, remove fish from marinade; discard bag and marinade. Grill fish 4 to 5 min. on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork. Place fish on individual plates or serving platter; top each fillet with 1/2 cup of the tomato mixture and 2 Tbsp. of the mozzarella cheese.

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH MISO-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk water and mustard in small bowl until smooth. Combine miso, vinegar, mirin, sugar and soy sauce in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk in mustard mixture. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fish and green onions with oil. Sprinkle both with salt and pepper. Grill fish until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Grill onions until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish and onions to 4 plates. Spread sauce atop fish. Sprinkle sesame seeds over sauce and serve.
