Striped Bass With Artichokes And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place artichokes in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme; toss to combine. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast until tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, shaking pan, until mushrooms are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, slash the skin of each piece of fish a few times. Rub fish with salt, fennel fronds, fennel pollen, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish, skin-side down. Reduce heat to medium and cook fish 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and continue cooking until fish is opaque, 5 to 6 minutes more.
• Add artichokes to bowl with mushrooms along with tomatoes and oil from tomato marmalade; toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grill grates.
• Toss together the olives, parsley, vinegar, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper and toss again; set aside until juicy.
• Meanwhile, brush the fish on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish, skin side up, until it has strong grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 5 minutes. Rotate it about 45 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern and continue to grill for another 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook until just opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the side registers about 135 degrees F, 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Using the natural seams of the fish as a guide, cut into 4 pieces. Put a slice of bread on 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of fish and spoon the tomato mixture and its juices over the top.

Add water and bring to a boil then simmer for 3 hours. When ready, drain the stock.
• Sauce: Dice vegetables, saute and deglaze with Irish whiskey and flambe. Add lobster stock to the pot, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Add salt and pepper to taste
• Fish: Fillet the fish and salt and pepper. Slice potato very thinly (approximately 1/16-inch) starting from the narrow of the potato. Cover the meat side of the fish with the sliced potato, overlapping to resemble scales. In a saute pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil. When hot, add fish potato side down for 2 to 3 minutes until potato gets brown and crisp then turn fish and finish the cooking in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes.

Turn fish over again, remove from pan. Place on paper towel to drain. Place small amount of potatoes on warm serving plate. Place fillet on top, spoon vinaigrette over fish. Garnish with thyme or basil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a little oil to brush the bottom of a shallow baking dish that can go to the table and is large enough to hold the fish in one piece. Spread potatoes in dish, overlapping, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Season flesh side of fish with salt and pepper. Place fish skin side up on the potatoes, sprinkle on remaining oil, scatter olives around and place bay leaves on top. Cover with parchment paper and bake 20 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through at the thickest part (a sharp knife will penetrate easily). Garnish with lemon and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread olive oil in a baking dish just large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Season the flesh side of the fish with salt and pepper, and set aside on a plate or cutting board.
• In a heavy saucepan, heat the guanciale on medium low, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the cracklings are golden. Add the onion and cook until onion is soft and barely colored. Stir in garlic and continue cooking until it softens. Add tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently about 15 minutes, until tomatoes have come together and reduced a bit. Stir in chile flakes and remove from heat.
• Heat baking dish in the oven and when the oil is hot, remove it from the oven. Place fish, skin side down, in the dish. Spread the tomato mixture on the fish. Return dish to oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish just turns opaque and is cooked through. Serve at once or set aside at room temperature to serve in 30 minutes or so. Scatter basil on top just before serving.
