Best 4 Sea Bass With Sun Dried Tomato And Black Olive Tapenade Recipes

ROASTED BLACK SEA BASS WITH TOMATO AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Make salad:
• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in anchovy paste, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in oil. Toss with remaining salad ingredients. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while fish roasts.
• Roast fish:
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Oil a 1 1/2-to 2-quart gratin or other shallow baking dish.
• Rub flesh sides of fish with 2 teaspoons oil (total) and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total). Divide onion slices and oregano sprigs into 2 portions and sandwich each portion between 2 fillets, skin sides out. Tie with kitchen string crosswise at 2-inch intervals and transfer to baking dish. Score skin on top in several places with a sharp knife and drizzle with remaining 4 teaspoons oil.
• Roast fish until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cut off string and cut sandwiched fillets in half crosswise. Serve topped with salad.

SUNDRIED TOMATO TAPENADE

Steps:

• Stir balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; fold in sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, green olives, and garlic. Season with black pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 2 hours to overnight.
• Arrange cream cheese halves on 2 serving dishes; spoon tapenade over cream cheese.

FISH WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of oil over a medium-high heat. Add fish and cook until opaque in the center, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter and tent with foil to keep the fish warm.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the same skillet; add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and capers and crushed red pepper, if using, and cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in the spinach and cook until it is wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.

BLACK SEA BASS WITH TAPENADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the garlic in a medium casserole with a lid. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Cover and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until soft. Set aside.
• Peel the potatoes, and slice into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large casserole or saute pan with a lid. Add the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onions, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Once the garlic is done, raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees.
• Remove the potato-onion mixture from the heat, and pour in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Add rosemary and thyme sprigs, and cover with the fish fillets. Season with salt and pepper, and scatter the roasted garlic, lemon slices and tomatoes over the fish.
• Place the uncovered casserole over high heat. When the potatoes begin to sizzle, add the wine. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour in the fish stock, and cover. Bring to a boil. Then place the casserole in the hot oven, and roast until fish is done, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast the slices of baguette and rub them with olive oil.
• Use one or two large spatulas to transfer the fish and vegetables to a serving platter, discarding the rosemary and thyme. Pour sauce over the fish, and sprinkle with parsley.
• Serve garnished with croutons topped with tapenade.
