Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 6-ounce pieces wild striped bass
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 pinches ground cinnamon
4 pinches ground cloves
2 cups basmati rice
4 cups rice milk
2 tablespoons coconut cream (or coconut milk)
3 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
2 bay leaves
1/4 serrano chili, seeded and minced, more if desired
2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups diced (1/4 -inch) tart apple
1/2 banana, diced (1/4 -inch)

Steps:

  • Cut 4 to 6 shallow slits into the skin side of each fish fillet. Place 4 large squares of plastic wrap on a flat surface and sprinkle the center of each with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Lay a piece of fish, skin-side up, on each square. Top each with another 1/2 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the garlic among the fish, pressing into the slits. Sprinkle each piece with a pinch of cinnamon and cloves. Loosely wrap the fish in the plastic and refrigerate.
  • In a large pan with a lid, combine the rice, rice milk, coconut cream, shredded coconut, bay leaves, chili and 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon regular salt). Let sit for 30 minutes, then cover the pan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 17 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chives.
  • Meanwhile, to make the chutney, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter to a sauté pan. Place over medium heat and, when hot, add the onion, curry powder and turmeric. Cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the apple and banana and cook 2 minutes longer, until the apple is soft around the edges but still crisp. Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl.
  • Fill a saucepan large enough to hold a steamer basket with 1 inch of water. Bring to a simmer. Place the wrapped fish in the basket. Lower the basket into the pan and cover. Steam the fish for 5 minutes, turn the pieces and steam until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
  • To serve, remove the plastic from the fish. Spread the rice on a large platter, top with the fish and its cooking juices and serve with the chutney on the side.

I tried this recipe and while the steamed wild striped bass was good, I found the coconut rice to be a bit bland. The apple-banana chutney was also a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.
