Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup tomato, diced and seeded
1 cup fennel, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup capers, drained, rinsed and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 lemon, pulp and rind, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 orange, zest minced, juiced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 whole sea bass (about 5 pounds), scaled and cleaned with head and tail intact
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 red onion, sliced into thin rings
1 lime, cut into thin rounds
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Dried rosemary branches for roasting (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the Mediterranean Salsa: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend before serving or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the fish well under cold running water (to make sure the cavity is clean of any entrails) and pat it dry. With a sharp knife, make 4 deep diagonal incisions down to the bone on each side of the fish. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Lay the onion rings, lime rounds, and rosemary sprigs in the cavity. Close the fish. Insert the garlic slivers into the incisions.
  • Tie the fish together in 3 or 4 places with butcher's twine to close the cavity. Place the fish on a bed of rosemary branches (or a rack) set in a large roasting pan. Rub the fish with the olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the fish until completely cooked through, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a large platter and remove the twine, top with the Mediterranean Salsa. You can also serve this fish on a bed of spinach or arugula leaves with a side of warm orzo tossed with a little chopped fresh parsley and olive oil.

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pieces Sea Bass fillet, (no skin (each piece about 6-0z in weight and 1 1/2 inches in thickness))
Salt
Extra virgin olive oil
1 Green Bell Pepper, (cored and chopped)
1 Red Bell Pepper, (cored and chopped)
3 Shallots. (chopped)
4 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, (halved or chopped)
1/2 lemon, (juice off)
1/2 tbsp ground coriander
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp Aleppo pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Take the fish out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking. Sprinkle with salt on both sides and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the spices to make the spice mixture. Set aside for now.
  • In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering but not smoking.
  • Add the bell peppers, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and 1 tsp of the spice mixture you prepared earlier. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until the peppers have softened. Turn the heat to lowest, and stir in the chopped olives. Leave on low heat as you prepare the fish.
  • Pat fish dry and season with the remaining spice mixture on both sides as well.
  • In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Add the fish pieces (you can reduce heat to medium, if needed). Push down on the middle (thickest part) for 30 seconds or so. Cook fish on one side, undisturbed, until nicely browned, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn fish over and cook on other side for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned as well. (Important Note- look for browned edges before you turn it over. If parts of the fish are stuck, you should be able to carefully scrape it with the spatula and turn. But, if the fish is entirely stuck, it's not ready to be turned over. Leave it for a little bit. It should release when ready.)
  • Remove fish from heat, immediately drizzle lemon juice. Serve hot with the bell pepper medley spooned on top. Add a side of cooked pearl couscous or rice, if you like. Or add a gluten-free side of your choice. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest sea bass you can find. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, shiny skin, and a mild, briny smell.
  • Rinse the sea bass thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pat the sea bass dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help to prevent the skin from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the sea bass generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Roast the sea bass in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the sea bass immediately with Mediterranean salsa. The salsa can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.

Conclusion:

Rosemary and lime roasted sea bass with Mediterranean salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sea bass is roasted to perfection and the Mediterranean salsa adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
