OUR NEW FAVORITE STRIPED BASS RECIPE



Our New Favorite Striped Bass Recipe image

We love this recipe for its great combination of simplicity and flavor. Make it in one pan in the oven with no fussy techniques of any kind. The result is brightly colored and full of complementary flavors that really let the fish shine. There will be plenty of delicious, saucy broth at the bottom of the pan, so we recommend serving on top of our favorite easy orzo to soak it all up. If you don't have striped bass, substitute cod, black sea bass or halibut.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 ounces small matsutake mushrooms, peeled and cut into quarters, plus 1 whole, peeled and thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
Espelette pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sake, preferably Junmai Dai Ginjo

STRIPED BASS POACHED IN SPICY SOY SAUCE



Striped Bass Poached In Spicy Soy Sauce image

Poaching fish in a mixture of soy sauce and water is a simple, fast method that adds gorgeous flavor to fillets, which emerge moist and succulent. It is also flexible and forgiving, with a cooking liquid that can accommodate a host of seasonings. Here those seasonings are sugar (to cut the saltiness of the soy sauce), scallions and an optional fresh or dried chile pepper (either minced or put in whole), but you could experiment with ginger, garlic, lime juice or other flavors. Combine all the ingredients, except the bass, in a skillet. Bring to a boil, add the fish flesh-side-down, and adjust the heat so that the mixture does not bubble too aggressively. The fish cooks in 8 to 10 minutes, until its flesh is mahogany-colored and doesn't resist when you slice in with a thin-bladed knife. Serve on top of rice, garnished with the cooking liquid and the scallions, which are now limp and tender. Other fish, like cod, halibut, monkfish and salmon, also work, but keep an eye on it as it poaches - you will likely need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

Categories     dinner, quick, project, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 to 1/2 cup good soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
About 15 scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths, or 2 or 3 spring onions or 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 dried or fresh chile pepper (optional)
About 1 1/2 pounds striped bass fillet, about 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, scallions, chile (if using) and 1/2 to 2/3 cup water in a skillet just large enough to hold the fish. Turn the heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the fish, and adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles but not furiously. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the fish is coated with a brown glaze and cooked through. Serve with white rice, spooning the sauce over all and garnishing with the scallions.

STRIPED BASS ALL'AMATRICIANA



Striped Bass all'Amatriciana image

The robust amatriciana sauce that so beautifully complements the baked fish in this dish is never made with fresh tomatoes; using canned tomatoes greatly simplifies the recipe and reduces the cooking time. The bright flavors of striped bass make it especially nice for summer entertaining, but prepare it with any firm white fish you prefer, and use parsley when basil is out of season.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds fillet of striped bass or other firm, white-fleshed fish, skin-on, in 4 pieces
Salt and ground black pepper
2 ounces guanciale, pork belly or pancetta, diced
1 large onion, sliced thin
4 large cloves garlic, slivered
2 cups canned San Marzano tomatoes, crushed with a fork
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons slivered basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread olive oil in a baking dish just large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Season the flesh side of the fish with salt and pepper, and set aside on a plate or cutting board.
  • In a heavy saucepan, heat the guanciale on medium low, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the cracklings are golden. Add the onion and cook until onion is soft and barely colored. Stir in garlic and continue cooking until it softens. Add tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently about 15 minutes, until tomatoes have come together and reduced a bit. Stir in chile flakes and remove from heat.
  • Heat baking dish in the oven and when the oil is hot, remove it from the oven. Place fish, skin side down, in the dish. Spread the tomato mixture on the fish. Return dish to oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish just turns opaque and is cooked through. Serve at once or set aside at room temperature to serve in 30 minutes or so. Scatter basil on top just before serving.

  • Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons red miso, minced white part of green onion, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and minced fresh ginger in small bowl. Sprinkle striped bass fillets with salt and pepper.

PAN-FRIED STRIPED BASS WITH LEMON SAUCE



Pan-Fried Striped Bass with Lemon Sauce image

Pan-frying is best for thinner fillets and steaks, or for whole fish that are no more than 1 inch thick. Season the fish with salt and pepper and other seasonings such as chopped fresh herbs or crushed spices as desired. For skinless fillets, heat a heavy sauté or frying pan until quite hot; add just enough oil, clarified butter, or a mix of oil and whole butter to cover the bottom of the pan. Carefully add the fish and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes (4 to 5 minutes for whole fish) and then turn. Cook for another 3 minutes and test for doneness. Remove the fish from the pan when it is just slightly underdone, as it will continue cooking in the residual heat. When cooking fish with skin, add more fat to the pan, about 1/8 inch deep. Put the fish into the pan skin side down. The skin will shrink while it cooks, pulling the fish up from the bottom of the pan. To keep the skin next to the hot pan (which is necessary to crisp it), weigh the fillets down with a foil-wrapped skillet that is slightly smaller than the one used for the cooking. This will hold the fillets fl at and ensure even crisping of the skin. Cook the fillets on their skin for the majority of the time, about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on their thickness, then turn them and cook on the flesh side for just another minute or two, or until done. Remember that the pan must be quite hot before the fish is added; this will keep it from sticking. Also, don't crowd the fish or it will sweat and give off liquid, ruining any chances of browning and crisping. Lastly, don't overcook the fish. A quick pan sauce can be made aft er you have removed the fish and poured off the cooking fat. Add tomato sauce to the hot pan and stir in all the brown bits left on the pan for added flavor, or deglaze the hot pan with wine or lemon juice and finish with a swirl of butter or extra-virgin olive oil and a handful of herbs. Add a handful of toasted nuts for flavor and texture. The striped bass fishery, once endangered, has fully recovered and is now flourishing. This fish is especially delicious with its skin left on and sautéed until brown and crispy.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt
Fresh-ground black pepper
4 pieces striped bass, skin on (4 to 6 ounces each)
Salt
Fresh-ground black pepper
Olive oil, enough to generously coat the bottom

Steps:

  • For the sauce, whisk together: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, Salt, Fresh-ground black pepper.
  • Taste for salt and lemon juice and adjust as desired. The sauce will separate as it sits; this is not a problem.
  • Season: 4 pieces striped bass, skin on (4 to 6 ounces each) with: Salt, Fresh-ground black pepper.
  • Choose a heavy-bottomed pan for frying the fish. Take another, slightly smaller pan that will fit into the pan for the fish, and wrap its bottom with foil. This pan will be used as a weight to hold the fish flat against the frying pan to ensure that all of the skin will cook and crisp. (You will see the fish contract when it goes into the hot pan, as the skin shrinks on contact with the heat.) Warm the larger pan over medium-high heat. When hot, pour in: Olive oil, enough to generously coat the bottom.
  • Add the pieces of bass, skin side down, and place the foil-wrapped pan on top of the fish. Cook until the skin is brown and crispy, about 7 minutes. Check now and then to see that the fish is indeed browning, but not overbrowning. Adjust the heat up or down to speed up or slow down the cooking as needed. When the skin is browned, remove the top pan and turn the fish. Cook for another minute or so, until the fish is just cooked through, but is still moist and tender inside. Meanwhile whisk the lemon sauce together again and pour it onto a warm plate. Serve the fish skin side up, on top of the sauce.
  • Garnish the fish with a couple spoonfuls of chopped tender herbs such as parsley, chives, chervil, cilantro, or basil.
  • Soak, rinse, and squeeze dry a tablespoon or so of capers. When the fish is cooked add the capers to the hot pan and sauté for a minute or two. Remove with a slotted spoon and scatter over the fish.
  • Make a Beurre Blanc (Warm Butter Sauce; page 228) instead of the olive oil sauce.
