Sea Bass With Pineapple Dijon Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the fish dry, with paper towels and lightly season with Old Bay Seasoning. (NOTE: If you can't find Old Bay Seasoning, lightly season with salt & pepper and a little paprika.) In an oven-proof skillet, add enough oil to lightly coat the skillet. Heat on medium-high until the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke. Place the seasoned fish into the skillet and allow to sear, until lightly brown-- about 4 to 5 minutes. Test that the fish is ready to be turned, when a skillet easily loosens the fish. Turn the fish over, then place the skillet into the preheated oven. Roast for about 7 to 9 minutes (internal temperature should be about 140°F). Remove the fish to a plate, and tightly cover with foil. SAUCE: Drain any excess oil and return the skillet to the stove, on medium-high. Add the pineapple juice, and deglaze the pan by scraping any browned bits. Add the white wine and chicken stock and allow the liquid to reduce to about half-- about 5 minutes, on medium-high. Remove the skillet from heat, and add the unsalted butter. Whisk until melted and smooth.

Steps:

• Mix the jerk seasoning, garlic, ginger, lime zest and oil in a bowl. Using a sharp knife, cut slits in the skin of the fish and rub liberally with the marinade. Leave on a tray in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
• For the salsa, combine all the ingredients, cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for up to 1 hr until ready to serve.
• Put each fish on a sheet of foil, and bring the sides around to make an open-topped boat shape. Cook for 15-20 mins on a barbecue, turning halfway, or until cooked through. Alternatively, heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and bake the fish on a non-stick baking tray for 15-20 mins or until just cooked. Serve scattered with the extra coriander and the salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pat fish dry with paper towels and lightly season with seafood seasoning.
• Coat an ovenproof skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer but not smoke, about 1 minute. Place seasoned fish in the hot skillet and cook until lightly brown on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn fish over and place skillet in the preheated oven. Roast until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer fish to a plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Drain any excess oil from the skillet and return to the stove over medium-high heat. Add pineapple juice and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Add wine, chicken stock, and cream. Simmer until as thick as desired, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, add mustard and butter. Whisk until melted and smooth. Serve sauce over roasted sea bass.

Steps:

• To prepare the relish, wash, rinse, and remove bad cranberries. Place in a sauce pot and simmer for approximately 15 minutes and allow to cool. Chop cranberries into small dice. Add all of the remaining ingredients and set aside.
• Place the sea bass fillets into a dish and add all of the ingredients except the olive oil and allow the sea bass to marinate for approximately 2 hours.
• Using a saute pan, heat the olive oil and sear the sea bass in the hot pan until golden on both sides.
• To serve, place on plate and top with the cranberry compote.

Steps:

• Trim the fillets into rectangles. Lightly score the skin to help it caramelize and to help prevent curling.
• Strain the fish stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Split the vanilla bean open and scrape the seeds into the hot stock followed by the pod. Remove the stock from the heat and allow the vanilla to infuse and the stock to cool completely. Return the stock to the stove and boil for about 20 minutes, until reduced by . Remove from heat, discard the vanilla and set the stock aside.
• Peel the salsify, then immediately drop it into cold water with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Blanch in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes, drain, refresh in ice-cold water and drain again. Pat dry and cut into batons.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add 1 cup of the fish stock. Bring to a light boil, toss in the salsify batons and cook until the stock has reduced to a glossy glaze. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter and season with i teaspoon sea salt. The batons should be lightly colored; if they are not, cook for another minute or so. Set aside.
• Melt another tablespoon of the butter in a medium pan and cook the fennel until nicely colored. Add 1/2 cup of the stock to the pan along with the thyme and the bay leaf. Cover and braise over gentle heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the thyme and the bay leaf and set the fennel aside.
• In a spice mill or using a mortar and pestle, grind the white and black peppercorns, coriander seeds, star anise and cardamom into a powder.
• Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan. Season the bass with salt, pepper and the remaining lemon juice. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. When it has stopped foaming, add the fish skin side down. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip the fillets over and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, until firm and lightly springy. Season with the spice mixture and set aside.
• Warm the remaining stock and stir in the tablespoon of cream and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, or more to taste. Remove from the heat, add the 2 tablespoons ice-cold butter and reheat the stock, frothing it with an electric hand mixer.
• Divide the fennel among 4 warmed plates. Put the fish on top, skin side up. Arrange the salsify around it in a circle. Spoon the sauce over the fish and drizzle the rest over the salsify.

Steps:

• For the fish, mix soy, teriyaki & brown sugar thoroughly. Place portions of sea bass in mixture and make sure fish is either completely covered, or turn frequently. Marinate up to 2 hours; no less than a half hour.
• For the salsa, prep all ingredients and toss together until fully mixed. Set aside while fish is being cooked.
• After marinating fish, in a large saute pan, heat about 1/8" oil over high heat. (Make sure oil coats the entire bottom--this gets a bit sticky without the proper coating.).
• Once oil "pops," cook sea bass until soy is well caramelized on fish, turning a dark brown and releasing from the pan, then flip over and continue until fish is done, flaking easily when pierced with a fork.
• (I will not tell you how long, because it really, REALLY depends on the thickness of the fish pieces. Just watch it carefully!).
• Hold fish on a cooling rack in a warm (170 -200 degree) oven until ready to serve, best when done immediately.
• Serve with salsa and a few avocado wedges if you want to get fancy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375*. Butter an oven dish. Dry the fish and season it well inside and out with salt and pepper. Place it in the buttered dish and spread with onion, parsley, garlic and mushrooms. Dot well with the remaining butter except for the 1 Tblsp. and pour the wine over all.
• Bake 40-45 minutes, basting frequently. Remove the fish to a heated platter. Add the 1 Tblsp. of cold butter to the sauce in the baking dish. Do not heat. Pour sauce over fish without straining.
• Decorate, if desired, with lemon and additional chopped parsley.
