Italian Baked Sea Bass Recipes

SEA BASS BAKED IN FOIL LIGURIAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Peel and blanch the potatoes in salted water for about five minutes. Then cut them into slices.
• Cut cherry tomatoes in half, then cut the onion into thin slices. Set aside.
• Take a baking dish and line it with two rather large sheets of parchment paper, one placed vertically and one horizontally. Pour a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom. Now make a layer with the potato slices and two sprigs of rosemary. This is "the bed" for the sea bass. So arrange the sea bass on top of the potato layer.
• Put a clove of garlic inside each fish. Add the tomatoes, onion slices, olives and two other sprigs of rosemary on top. Add a little salt but not much, the olives are in fact very tasty. Finally add three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
• Close the sea bass in the parchment paper with the help of your hands and seal it with a silicone cooking band. Place the baking dish in the pre-heaten oven and cook for about 40 minutes at 180°C (350 F). Serve the sea bass baked in foil, cleaned and portioned, with cherry tomatoes, potatoes and olives.

ITALIAN-STYLE BASS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170/gas 5. Slice the potatoes and boil for 6-8 mins until just tender, then drain.
• Butter or oil one large or two smaller shallow ovenproof dishes that will fit the fish fillets in one layer (a couple of roasting tins would work well). Scatter the potatoes over the base of the dishes, then halve the tomatoes and scatter on top, along with the olives. Set the fish fillets among the other ingredients then pour over the stock and wine, then season to taste.
• Cover the dishes with foil and seal the edges. Bake for 15 mins until the fish is tender. Serve each portion on warm plates and scatter with basil.
