Roasted Sea Bass With Herb Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry; slash skin side of each crosswise in 2-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour to evenly coat, shaking off excess.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers and wisps of smoke rise from skillet, add fish in a single layer, skin-sides down. Reduce heat to medium; cook, undisturbed,until skin is crisp and flesh is opaque halfway up sides and almost cooked through, 5 to 7minutes, depending on thickness.
• Flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, skin-sides up. Add vermouth to skillet; boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add capers and butter; cook until butter simmers and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs. Return fish to skillet, skin-side up; spoon butter sauce over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Place the Sea Bass in an oven proof dish, single layer.
• Pour in all the remaining ingredients.
• Bake uncovered for apprx 20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Score sea bass at 1-inch intervals. Brush the inside cavity of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Place chile peppers and 10 thyme sprigs inside the cavity. Brush both sides of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper.
• In a 10-by-18-inch roasting pan, or one large enough to hold the fish, arrange lime, tomato, and onion slices so they form a bed for the fish, and season them with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place the fish on top, and pour 6 tablespoons olive oil over fish.
• Transfer the roasting pan to the broiler, and cook fish for 10 minutes, until the skin is slightly crisp on top. Lower the oven to 400 degrees. Add wine to the roasting pan, and return fish to the oven to roast. Roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer fish to a large serving dish.
• Pick 1 heaping teaspoon thyme leaves from remaining sprigs. Place the vegetables from the roasting pan into a sieve, and strain the juices into a bowl, pressing out any additional juices from the vegetables to create sauce. Stir the thyme leaves and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil into this sauce, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and add lime juice to taste. Gently reheat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, making sure not to let it boil. Fillet the fish, pour the sauce over, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil and place fish fillets on baking sheet.
• Brush the fish with olive oil, then drizzle with lemon juice.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, then herbs.
• Bake fish about 10 minutes, just until opaque in center.
• Transfer fish to plates and spoon some herb sauce over the fillets.
• SAUCE Mix all ingredients in medium bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• May be made one day ahead and refrigerated.
• Use at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 230C/gas 8/fan210C. Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper, inside and out. Rub the skin with oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay three-quarters of the lemon slices on a heavy baking sheet and place the fish on top (see tip). Stuff the belly with the remaining lemon, the garlic and plenty of herbs, then season.
• Bake the fish for 30 minutes or until the flesh is opaque at its thickest part - slide a knife into the backbone area to heck.
• To serve, first gently peel the skin back, then lift off a chunk of the back fillet and a chunk of the belly to make one serving: each side should yield 2 portions. Use any lemon slices that are nicely brown, rather than jet-black, as a garnish.FOR THE TARATOR SAUCE
• Put the nuts in a food processor and whizz to a fine powder.Wet the bread, then squeeze out all the moisture. Crumble it into the nuts, add the garlic and whizz to combine thoroughly.
• Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper. Start pouring the olive oil in through the feeder tube, in a steady, fine trickle. Once the oil is incorporated, the sauce will be very smooth but rather solid, so add enough water (or stock) to let the sauce down to a thick, creamy consistency.
• Finally, taste the sauce, adjust the seasoning and add a little more lemon juice if necessary.

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons shallots, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and vinegar in heavy small saucepan. Boil until almost no liquid remains in saucepan, about 5 minutes. Add cream and thyme; simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Combine tomatoes, 1/3 cup oil, basil, oregano, tarragon, 2 tablespoons shallots and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand 1 hour at room temperature.
• Prepare barbecue or preheat broiler. Brush fish with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil fish until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Divide fish among plates.
• Bring sauce to simmer; spoon around fish. Top fish with tomato mixture; serve.
