STRIPED BASS WITH ARTICHOKES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Season the fish with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use. Remove the zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler (reserve the lemon). Combine the lemon zest, parsley, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. With the motor running, gradually add the bread and pulse several times to make coarse crumbs. Spread the breadcrumbs evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the artichokes, olives and tomatoes around the edge and bake until the exposed breadcrumbs in the middle are toasted, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Scoop out the toasted breadcrumbs and set aside. Add the fish to the baking dish and top with the toasted breadcrumbs. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cut the reserved lemon into wedges and squeeze on top.

STRIPED BASS (SEA BASS/ SEA BREAM) IN ARTICHOKE, TOMATO + CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet over low-medium heat pour a 2-count or so of olive oil and place the garlic and shallots. You want to saute these together and get them nice and soft, so keep the heat on the low side. 2. Add the artichokes, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes and capers and stir all together and cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes stir regularly. 3. Add the white cooking wine, tyme and pepper and stir well, then simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, The goal is to reduce the sauce to be slightly thicker and remove some of the water released by the tomatoes. The sauce should be medium thick and should stick to the spoon some but pour. 4. Place the fish into the pan and nestle it down into the sauce, cover with the sauce from the sides and a lid on medium heat. You are going to essentially poach the fish in the sauce. Cook on side undisturbed for about 6-7 minutes, gently turn over and cover for 3-4 more min until it is slightly firm and flakes apart (you know, like cooked fish). Serve with the sauce on top.
