Pan Fried Sea Bass With Cilantro Yogurt Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange fish in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Puree cilantro, cream, ginger and chili in blender. Add yogurt and just blend in. Season sauce with salt and pepper; spoon over fish.
• Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet with olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Season the fillets with some salt and pepper. Place fillets in skillet and cook about 5 minutes on each side. When the fish is cooked, set aside on a plate and deglaze the pan with the vermouth, add the thyme and saffron leaving to bubble until it's reduced by two thirds. Add remaining butter and whisk followed by the heavy cream and heat through. Serve fillets with light saffron cream sauce and blanched asparagus.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chaat masala. Place the fish pieces in a bowl and gently mix in the oil, mustard seeds, and turmeric. Place the yogurt in a separate serving bowl. 2. Put the cilantro in a food processor or a blender, add the lemon juice, ginger, green chili peppers, paprika, and salt, and process to make a fine purée. Divide the purée into 2 portions. Mix 1 portion into the fish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at least 2 and up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Mix the second portion into the yogurt, along with the chaat masala, to make a saucy chutney. Cover and refrigerate until needed.3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the fish, turning once or twice, until just flaky and opaque inside and golden outside, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle about 1/2 cup yogurt sauce on the fish, garnish with the cilantro sprigs, and serve hot with the remaining yogurt sauce on the side.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
