WHOLE SMOKE-ROASTED STRIPED BASS AND ROCKET PESTO



Whole Smoke-Roasted Striped Bass and Rocket Pesto image

Chris Schlesinger, chef-owner of East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is largely responsible for getting us into barbecue. His Fourth of July parties in Westport, Massachusetts, may be right up there with his reputation as a chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author. Every year on the holiday, friends of Chef Schlesinger bring 30- to 50-pound (13.7- to 22.8-kg) whole bass that they've just caught, and he usually asks us to cook them. There is nothing better than smoky whole fish just off the fire. Like bone-in meat, fish retains its moisture best when you cook it whole. We came up with this recipe the first year we were asked to cook one, and it was so good, it's been a keeper. We grilled sweet corn with it, which is a perfect complement to the rich, smoky fish. Because we're dealing with significant bulk, and fish sizes are so variable, it's hard to provide a definitive cook time. Our friend Wade Wiestling, vice president of culinary development at the Oceanaire Seafood Room, gave us a great guideline: cook 5 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) at the fish's largest circumference, at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). This recipe serves a lot of people, so plan on a big party.

Categories     main-dish

Yield 20 to 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 whole striped bass or salmon, around 20 to 30 pounds (9 to 13.7 kg), scaled
2 cups (475 ml) olive oil
5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
5 cups (300 g) fresh Italian parsley leaves, plus 1 whole bunch fresh Italian parsley
8 sprigs rosemary, needles removed and stems discarded
1 cup (235 ml) fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup (75 g) kosher salt
2 tablespoons (12 g) ground black pepper
2 cups (80 g) loosely packed basil leaves
10 tarragon sprigs
12 thyme sprigs
Rocket Pesto (recipe follows)
Cheesy Grilled Corn (recipe follows)
1 pound (455 g) arugula (also known as rocket)
1 1/2 cups (220 g) pistachios, shells removed, toasted
2 cups (475 ml) olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
20 ears corn, shucked, snapped in half, and blanched for 30 seconds
4 cups (480 g) crumbled queso fresco (if you can't find queso fresco, feta works as well)
1/2 cup (64 g) chili powder
2 egg yolks
10 limes, cut into 6 wedges each
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 cups (475 ml) vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Make sure the fish has had all its scales removed, and that the inside cavity is clean. If there are any scales left, remove them using the back of a knife to scrape the skin from tail to head. Pat the skin dry with a towel.
  • Prepare smoker and bring heat to 400degreesF (200 degrees C). We recommend oak or hickory as the smoke wood.
  • In a blender, puree the olive oil, garlic, 5 cups (300 g) parsley leaves, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Coat the fish with the herb mixture inside and out. Stuff the cavity with the basil, tarragon, thyme, and remaining 1 bunch parsley.
  • Transfer fish to a large foil-lined baking sheet, and smoke for 5 minutes for every inch (2.5 cm) the fish measures at its largest circumference, or until the fish's internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  • To serve, gently transfer roasted fish to a large platter or cutting board and drizzle with Rocket Pesto. Serve with Cheesy Grilled Corn.
  • Pesto is traditionally made with basil, garlic, parmesan or pecorino cheese, pine nuts, and olive oil, but we thought we'd shake things up a bit by replacing the basil with arugula and substituting pistachios for pine nuts.
  • In a food processor, puree the pistachios, garlic, and cheese. Add arugula and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Grilled corn with cotija cheese (a hard, dry cheese named for the town in Mexico from whence it originates), mayonnaise, and a dusting of chili powder is popular street food in Mexico. One bite and it's easy to see why. Here's our version.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, puree the egg yolks, garlic, and lemon juice. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and reserve.
  • Prepare grill. When fire is medium-hot (you should not be able to hold your hand over the coals for more than 10 seconds), grill corn for about 5 minutes, rolling it to toast all sides and keep it from burning (C). Remove from grill and slather with aioli, then sprinkle with queso fresco and chili powder. Serve with lime wedges.

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coarsely ground white pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
6 6-ounce striped bass fillets (or any firm white fish from the bass or snapper family)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
12 whole shallots, unpeeled
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup heavy cream

4 shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • For the fish, combine the peppers, sugar and rosemary. Use a sharp knife to make crosshatch marks on the skin of each fish fillet. Rub the spice mixture into the skin and marinate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place garlic and shallots in a small baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until soft, about 30 minutes.

Have an oiled baking sheet ready. Stir the leeks into the caramel and immediately scrape onto the baking sheet. Cool. Separate the leeks and set aside.

Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. When the pan is hot, add the fish, skin side down, and cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fish and cook until the fish is firm to the touch, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place even portions of the shallot and garlic puree in the center of 6 plates. Place the fish over the puree. Sprinkle with the caramelized leeks. Pour some of the vinaigrette on each plate in a circle around the fish. Serve immediately.

5 green onions, sliced, green and pale green parts
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves chopped
Canola oil, for the pan
3 ears corn, shucked and kernels removed

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole striped bass, broken down into fillets
Canola oil, for the pan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • For the chipotle potato salad: Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a skewer inserted in a potato meets with no resistance, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

  • Transfer the corn mixture to a bowl, add the olive oil, green onions and lime zest and juice. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • For the basil oil: Prepare an ice bath. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 20 seconds. Remove with tongs and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain and squeeze out any excess water. Set aside.
  • Combine the oil and basil leaves in a blender, add salt and pepper to taste and blend for a few minutes until the basil is completely pureed. Add some of the spinach (to make it greener). Strain through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
  • For the striped bass: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Brush a cazuela or small cast-iron pan with canola oil. Season the bass on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the bass fillets in the pan and roast until opaque in the center, about 30 minutes.

PAN-ROASTED STRIPED BASS WITH TUNISIAN CHICKPEA SALAD AND YOGURT SAUCE



Pan-Roasted Striped Bass with Tunisian Chickpea Salad and Yogurt Sauce image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Side     Roast     Bass     Chickpea     Healthy

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 English (hothouse) cucumber, cut lengthwise, seeded, and diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 celery stalks and leafy tops, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup Tomato Harissa (page 243) or drained canned fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
Four 8-ounce striped bass fillets, skin on, about 1 1/2 inches thick
Yogurt Sauce (recipe follows)
Yogurt Sauce
1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
(makes 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Put 1/2 cup of the chickpeas in a mixing bowl. Mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until they are smashed but still have some texture. Add the remaining chickpeas, the onion, cucumber, cilantro, celery, cumin, harissa, olive oil, and vinegar; season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Return to room temperature before serving.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Put a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the canola oil. Pat both sides of the fish dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. When the oil is shimmering, lay the fish skin side down in the pan. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving the fillets. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the fish is opaque, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the fish over with a flat spatula, so the skin side is now up; it should be brown, crisp, and make a sound when you tap it. Let the fish sit in the hot pan for a minute to sear the bottom side.
  • To serve, pool 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce on each of 4 plates, place the fish skin side up on top of the sauce, and pile the chickpea salad next to it.
  • Yogurt Sauce
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the yogurt sauce to a container, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use, for up to 7 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest striped bass possible. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy body.
  • Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before roasting the fish. This will help ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Season the fish generously with salt and pepper. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Roast the fish for the recommended amount of time. Overcooking will dry out the fish.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Roasted striped bass is delicious with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Roasted striped bass is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its delicate flavor and flaky texture, striped bass is a fish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful seafood dish, give roasted striped bass a try.
