Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 red peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
3 tablespoons white wine
6 tablespoons chicken stock
Lemon juice, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head broccoli, about 14 ounces/390 g
1 leek, washed and trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, plus more to taste
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, to taste
4 fillets sea bass, about 4 ounces/110 g each
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • To prepare the roasted red pepper sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set the peppers on a baking sheet and roast until the flesh is soft and the skin puckered, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the peppers from the oven and put them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Set aside for 10 minutes to sweat. Remove the wrap, peel and seed the peppers. Cut the flesh into pieces and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the shallot and cook until soft. Deglaze with white wine and cook 1 minute. Add the stock and the cooked red pepper. Cook 5 minutes. Cool slightly, and puree in the blender. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and transfer to a small saucepan to reheat in a few minutes.
  • To make the broccoli puree: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cut the florets off the broccoli stem in even sizes. Peel the stem and thinly slice. Slice the leek into rings and rinse well.
  • Salt the boiling water, as for pasta, and add the broccoli and leek. Cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Drop in the butter and puree with an immersion blender. Taste and adjust the salt. Add pepper, lemon juice and lemon zest, to taste. Serve the broccoli puree hot as a bed for fish.
  • To prepare the fish: Season the filets with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a skillet. Fry on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve on a bed of broccoli puree with red pepper sauce alongside.
  • For the plate: Add a spoonful of broccoli puree to a plate and top it with the fish. Swirl the red pepper sauce around the plate and enjoy!

Overall, this dish was good, but not great. I would recommend making some adjustments to the recipe to suit your own taste.

The broccoli puree was a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more milk or cream to thin it out.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my liking. I would recommend using less lemon juice or adding a bit of sugar to balance out the flavor.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think next time I will try using a different type of fish, like tilapia.

I served this dish with a side of rice and it was a perfect meal. The rice helped to soak up the delicious sauce and the broccoli puree.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted red peppers. I had some in my fridge and they were the perfect addition to the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed the broccoli puree in this dish. It was smooth and creamy, and it balanced out the tangy sauce and crispy fish perfectly.

I substituted salmon for the sea bass and it turned out great! The sauce and puree worked well with the salmon, and the overall dish was very tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sea bass came out crispy on the outside and moist and flaky on the inside. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the broccoli puree added a creamy texture. It was a hit with my family!
