Provided by Teresa Long

Categories     Fish     Garlic     Onion     Pepper     Soy     Tomato     Vegetable     Bake     Healthy     Self

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped leeks (or onions)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomato
1 large green bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup low-sodium, fat-free vegetable stock
Fish
2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup low-sodium, fat-free vegetable stock
4 cups fresh spinach
2 large zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch chunks
4 fillets black sea bass (about 6 ounces each)
1 cup couscous
2 teaspoons pine nuts
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Line a 9" x 12" baking dish with foil. Set aside. Heat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook leeks, garlic, oregano, curry, allspice and black pepper until leeks become translucent, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato, bell pepper, celery and soy sauce. Cook until pepper softens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock. Simmer, covered, 25 to 30 minutes. Place carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and stock in prepared dish. Bake until vegetables begin to soften, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven. Add spinach and zucchini. Place fish on top of vegetables. Drizzle with sauce. Bake until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While fish cooks, prepare couscous as directed on package. Top each plate with 1/4 cup couscous, 1/4 of vegetables and 1 fillet. Sprinkle with pine nuts, dill and feta. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the fish is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of similar thickness. If they are not, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish. Additionally, use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • Use a light hand when seasoning the fish. Too much salt or pepper can overpower the delicate flavor of the sea bass.
  • The Moroccan salsa is a great way to add flavor and freshness to the dish. Make sure to use fresh ingredients and chop them finely.
  • Serve the sea bass immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

This recipe for sea bass with Moroccan salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The sea bass is cooked to perfection and the Moroccan salsa adds a pop of flavor and freshness. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
