SEA BASS SAN SEBASTIAN



Sea Bass San Sebastian image

Chilean sea bass, also known as Patagonian toothfish, has landed on lots of 'do not eat this' lists due to overfishing, but the fish can be found through sustainable sources. Flavored mayonnaise keeps the sea bass moist while it's cooking, and you can create countless sauce variations by changing the seasonings. The recipe is inspired by the cuisine of San Sebastian.

Tips:

  • To ensure the sea bass is cooked evenly, make sure it is the same thickness throughout. If it is not, you can score the thicker side to help it cook more quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the sea bass. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and will also help to prevent the skin from cracking.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If you are cooking multiple sea bass fillets, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve the sea bass immediately with your favorite sides. Some suggestions include steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or roasted potatoes.

Conclusion:

Baked Chinese sea bass is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great option for entertaining guests. The fish is flaky and tender, and the marinade gives it a wonderful flavor. Serve the sea bass with your favorite sides and enjoy!
