Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 6oz Chilean sea bass fillets (scaled and de-boned; total 1½ lbs (24 oz))
1 lemon ((optional), cut into wedges)
chopped fresh herbs ((optional) for garnish)
1 ½ Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 ½ Tablespoons mirin
1 ½ Tablespoons avocado oil
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 ½ teaspoons rice wine vinegar (substitute with 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice)
¾ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Prep: Prep the sea bass by patting it dry with a paper towel. Flip it skin side up and score the skin by making shallow cuts with a knife.
  • Marinate: Add all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Add the sea bass and massage the marinade into the fish. Let it marinade on the counter for 15 minutes. See Note 1.
  • Heat pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium to medium low heat and add a bit of vegetable oil to the pan. See Note 2. Once the pan is heated, scrape off any excess marinade and place the fillets skin side down. Leave it alone until it starts sizzling and rendering out fat. Leave the pan uncovered. Lightly press down with the flat side of your spatula for a few seconds. Let the skin continue cooking until very crispy. Depending on thickness, times will vary. Mine took 4 to 5 minutes. Check halfway through and lower the heat if necessary to avoid burning the skin.
  • Flip: Flip the fish and cook it skin side up until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes apart. Do not cover the pan with a lid as the steam will soften up the skin. See Note 3.
  • Serve: Plate the sea bass crispy skin side up and serve immediately with lemon wedges and herbs.

STEAMED SEA BASS WITH VANILLA, BABY VEGETABLES AND CAPPUCCINO SAUCE



Steamed Sea Bass with Vanilla, Baby Vegetables and Cappuccino Sauce image

Fish is so good for you, and so is steaming, a great method of cooking because none of the flavors or nutrients are lost. This sauce tastes very creamy and rich without having any of the fat from cream.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 vanilla pod
1 lemon, juiced and 1 lemon leaf
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 (8-ounce, 225 grams) sea bass fillets, skin on, scaled, pin bones removed and scored
8 baby leeks
4 ounces (115 grams) fresh peas
4 ounces (115 grams) fresh broad beans
8 small new potatoes, scrubbed and cooked
1 pint (565 ml) semi-skimmed milk
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the seeds from the vanilla pod and place both the seeds and pod on a plate with the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix up with a fork, then place the fish on the plate and turn it so both fillets are covered. Place the vanilla seeds and lemon leaf on top of the fillets, reserving the vanilla pod.
  • Split the leeks down the middle, 1-inch from the end, and wash under cold water. Mix the peas, broad beans and new potatoes together.
  • Put the milk into a saucepan with the reserved vanilla pod and slowly simmer over a medium heat. In a bamboo steamer* place the leeks on the bottom, then cover with the pea mix. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then place the steamer over the pan of milk. In a second bamboo steamer place the lemon leaf, and the fillets skin side up. Open up the score marks and pour over the juices from the plate. Place the lid on top and cook for 10 to 15 minutes on a slow simmer.
  • Remove the steamers from the pan, place some vegetables on each plate, and top with the fish. To finish the sauce, remove the vanilla pod from the milk and whiz up with a cappuccino frother or 'whizzer', or in a liquidizer. This gives the sauce a thick cappuccino effect, which is both visually and texturally very nice.

STEAMED SEA BASS



Steamed sea bass image

Try this steamed sea bass with fragrant Asian ingredients as the centrepiece for a Chinese menu. Steaming ensures the fish stays moist and flakes apart

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

30g ginger , peeled and cut into matchsticks (use a julienne peeler if you have one)
1 whole large sea bass (about 800g), gutted and cleaned (ask your fishmonger to do this), or 4 fillets of sea bass
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp palm sugar
1 spring onion , sliced diagonally
½ small pack coriander , trimmed but still with most of the stalks on
½ red chilli , finely sliced diagonally

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put half the ginger in the cavity of the fish, then lay it on foil. Pull the sides of the foil up around the fish to create a foil bowl, then add 1 tbsp water (this will steam the fish), seal and cook in the oven for 15-20 mins or a large bamboo steamer until the fish is flaking apart.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, leaving the juices in the foil. Heat the soy sauces, oil and palm sugar in a saucepan with 1 tbsp water until boiling and bubbling. Top the fish with the spring onion, chilli, most of the coriander and the rest of the ginger. Pour the hot liquid over the fish to 'cook' the aromatics on top. Scatter over any leftover coriander stalks to serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole black bass, cleaned and scaled, fins trimmed
8 (1/4-inch thick) slices fresh ginger
1/2 cup sake
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice, plus 1/2 lemon for garnish
1 teaspoon sugar
Peanut oil, for deep-frying
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus 2 scallions, cut into strips, for garnish
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make 4 deep, diagonal slashes down to the bone on both sides of the fish. Insert the ginger into the slashes. Refrigerate the fish until ready to cook.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the sake, soy sauce, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and sugar to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool. Stir in the sliced scallions.

SEA BASS IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Sea Bass in Black Bean Sauce image

Do not be alarmed by this list of ingredients. This dish is much simpler to prepare than it may seem.

Provided by Jason Epstein

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 sea bass, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds each, filleted, skin left on
8 ounces fresh Hong Kong-style egg noodles (available in Asian markets)
2 tablespoons light soy sauce, or more to taste
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil, or more to taste
2 tablespoons fermented black beans with garlic (available in jars in Asian markets)
3 tablespoons peanut oil, or more as needed
2 cups fresh mung bean sprouts
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced
4 medium fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced
4 green onions, white part and some green, trimmed, thinly sliced
1/2 tablespoon peeled, thinly sliced fresh ginger root
1 cup chicken broth, or more as needed
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

Steps:

  • Gently cut 2 X's through the skin of each fillet without cutting the meat, to keep them from curling. Set aside.
  • Soak noodles in warm water for 1 minute, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil, or more to taste. The flavor should be noticeable but not overpowering. Set aside.
  • Combine the black beans with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. In a wok heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil until smoking. Add the bean sprouts, bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the bean-sauce mixture and stir-fry 1 minute. Add 1 cup chicken broth and stir-fry 1 minute more. Mix the cornstarch or arrowroot with a bit of water until smooth and add to the sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring gently, until the sauce is clear and thickened. If too thick, thin with more chicken stock. Set aside and keep warm.
  • In a nonstick 10-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil until almost smoking, add the noodles and flatten into a pancake. Fry gently until crisp, turn over, adding more oil if needed, and brown other side. Place on a platter and keep warm.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the bass fillets, skin side down, and move the fillets gently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until a sharp knife meets almost no resistance, 1 to 2 minutes, and fish is browned slightly. Do not overcook!
  • To serve: Spoon the sauce over the noodles and top with the fillets.
