Roasted Chilean Sea Bass With A Compote Of Salsify Zucchini And Breen Beans In A Port Wine Black Truffle Vinaigrette 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

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. and allow the Chilean sea bass to rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. Cooking it straight out of the fridge will result in uneven cooking.
• Pat dry the fish with a paper towel and then brush it with melted butter. Season it generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle a little paprika on top for color, if desired. Pour the remaining melted butter over each filet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. How long you cook it really depends on the thickness of each fish fillet.
• Once the fish comes out of the oven, squeeze some lemon juice over the top and enjoy it!

BLACK SEA BASS AND MUSSELS A LA NAGE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the fava beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Peel off the black eyelets from the bean's shells. Squeeze and pop the beans from their shells. Transfer the beans to a bowl.
• Add the asparagus and peas to the water and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the ice water to stop the cooking and drain. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl of beans.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Rub the inside of the skillet with the 1 teaspoon of butter and sprinkle with the shallots. Generously season the fish all over with the salt and pepper, and arrange the fillets, skin-side up, in the skillet. Scatter the mussels over the top and pour in the vermouth and water. Cover the skillet and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook until the mussels have open (only uncover the skillet once or twice). Remove the skillet from the heat and let rest, covered, until the fish is just cooked through, about 6 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the fish and mussels to a baking pan, leaving the broth in the skillet, and keep warm in the oven. Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil, add the vegetables and whisk in the 4 tablespoons of butter, little by little, until fully incorporated. Whisk in the herbs.
• Divide the fish and mussels among 4 wide, shallow soup plates or bowls. Divide the broth and vegetables among the plates and serve immediately.

Cook sea bass in an ovenproof, nonstick saute pan in 2 tablespoons of oil for about 1 minute. Turn the fish over and place in the oven until the fish is cooked through, about 8 minutes. In a separate pan mix the rice and beans and cook until just heated through. Keep warm and set aside. Heat the 12 ounces of oil in a saute pan. Slice bananas lengthwise into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slices and fry in the oil until golden brown on both sides. Place rice and beans in center of each of 4 plates. Place fish on top of rice.

Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, salt, and pepper, and stir until the rice is coated with oil. Add the lobster stock, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Don't open the cover until 20 minutes have passed! Fluff with a fork and taste for seasoning.

• In a stove top smoker, lay out wood chips. Cut tomatoes lengthwise, and lay, cut side up, on the wood chips. Smoke tomatoes until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Place the tomatoes in a blender and process until smooth. Slowly drizzle the oil into tomatoes while the blender is running. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

• Transfer the sea bass to serving plates and sprinkle with the chive oil.
