BLACK SEA BASS WITH MOROCCAN VEGETABLES AND CHILE SAUCE
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.
