Categories     Entrée Recipes Gluten-free Recipes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup of (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 of tablespoons finely minced fresh chives
1 of clove garlic, minced
of Pinch of kosher salt
4 of sea bass fillets (4-6 ounces each)
of Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of olive oil

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the chives, garlic, and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture in the shape of a log onto a piece of wax or parchment paper.
  • Fold the paper over itself. Using your hands, shape the butter into a cylinder about 1 ½ inches wide (almost like making a Tootsie Roll). Once it is shaped, twist the ends to seal it.
  • Place in the freezer to set, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve or up to a month.
  • When ready to serve, slice the roll into ¼-inch-thick rounds and remove the parchment. (Only 4 slices of compound butter are need for this recipe.)

  • Generously season the sea bass with salt and pepper. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, warm the oil until a few water droplets sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the skillet. Sear the sea bass, skin side up, until it is well browned and easily releases from pan, about 4 minutes. Flip over and cook until seared, about 1 minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast about 5 minutes or cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
  • Serve each fillet with a slice of compound butter on top.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (about 2 pounds, 10 ounces) sea bass, cleaned, scaled, and gutted
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small fresh red chiles
20 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lime, thinly sliced crosswise
1 large beefsteak tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large onion, sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet white wine, such as a sweet Riesling
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Score sea bass at 1-inch intervals. Brush the inside cavity of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Place chile peppers and 10 thyme sprigs inside the cavity. Brush both sides of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper.
  • In a 10-by-18-inch roasting pan, or one large enough to hold the fish, arrange lime, tomato, and onion slices so they form a bed for the fish, and season them with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place the fish on top, and pour 6 tablespoons olive oil over fish.
  • Transfer the roasting pan to the broiler, and cook fish for 10 minutes, until the skin is slightly crisp on top. Lower the oven to 400 degrees. Add wine to the roasting pan, and return fish to the oven to roast. Roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer fish to a large serving dish.
  • Pick 1 heaping teaspoon thyme leaves from remaining sprigs. Place the vegetables from the roasting pan into a sieve, and strain the juices into a bowl, pressing out any additional juices from the vegetables to create sauce. Stir the thyme leaves and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil into this sauce, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and add lime juice to taste. Gently reheat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, making sure not to let it boil. Fillet the fish, pour the sauce over, and serve.
