Number Of Ingredients 11

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
1 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
1/8 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus 1 tablespoon chopped
4 (5-ounce) black sea bass fillets
1 small bunch chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and espelette pepper. Add sake to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet; cook until sake is reduced by half.
  • Add chicken stock and 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice; season with salt and espelette pepper. Add rosemary sprigs and let cook until liquid is reduced by half. Using a slotted spoon remove mushrooms and rosemary; set mushrooms aside and discard rosemary.
  • Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, using an immersion blender to combine. Add mushrooms and stir to coat. Set mushrooms aside in a warm place.
  • Preheat broiler; lightly oil a small baking sheet and set aside. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof pan over high heat. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Add fish to skillet, skin side down. Cook until skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and place under broiler; cook until fish is no longer opaque, about 1 minute more. Remove from broiler and keep warm.
  • Add chopped rosemary and stir into mushroom mixture along with chives; divide mushroom mixture evenly among 4 plates. Top each with a fish fillet and thinly sliced mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Spoon any remaining sauce from mushroom mixture around fish; serve immediately.

1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup capers, drained, rinsed and squeezed dry

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the fish well under cold running water (to make sure the cavity is clean of any entrails) and pat it dry. With a sharp knife, make 4 deep diagonal incisions down to the bone on each side of the fish. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Lay the onion rings, lime rounds, and rosemary sprigs in the cavity. Close the fish. Insert the garlic slivers into the incisions.
  • Tie the fish together in 3 or 4 places with butcher's twine to close the cavity. Place the fish on a bed of rosemary branches (or a rack) set in a large roasting pan. Rub the fish with the olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the fish until completely cooked through, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a large platter and remove the twine, top with the Mediterranean Salsa. You can also serve this fish on a bed of spinach or arugula leaves with a side of warm orzo tossed with a little chopped fresh parsley and olive oil.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 fillets of black bass, skin on
Salt and pepper to taste
2 bunches asparagus
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 pound unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 cup Tio Pepe Sweet Port

Saute for a couple of minutes, add some whole butter to pan and place in 500 degrees oven to finish, don't turn fish onto flesh side. This process should take 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Make sure the pan is oven proof, if not transfer fish to a baking sheet. For the asparagus, break them near the bottom at the natural breaking point. Add to heavily salted boiling water and cook until tender, drain and finish in a saute pan with whole butter. For the beurre blanc, place the shallots and white wine in saucepan and sweat the shallots. Add the butter a little at a time whisking constantly. When all of the butter is incorporated, whisk in the heavy cream. Finish with sweet port.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
3/4 cup fresh fava beans
1 cup sliced-on-the-diagonal asparagus
1/2 shelled peas
1 teaspoon plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced shallot
4 (6-ounce) skin-on black sea bass fillets (snapper or sole may also be used)
Freshly ground black pepper
24 mussels, washed and de-bearded
3/4 cup dry white vermouth
1/2 cup water
1 sprig fresh tarragon, leaves picked and chopped
1 teaspoon finely sliced fresh chives
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the fava beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Peel off the black eyelets from the bean's shells. Squeeze and pop the beans from their shells. Transfer the beans to a bowl.
  • Add the asparagus and peas to the water and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the ice water to stop the cooking and drain. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl of beans.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Rub the inside of the skillet with the 1 teaspoon of butter and sprinkle with the shallots. Generously season the fish all over with the salt and pepper, and arrange the fillets, skin-side up, in the skillet. Scatter the mussels over the top and pour in the vermouth and water. Cover the skillet and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook until the mussels have open (only uncover the skillet once or twice). Remove the skillet from the heat and let rest, covered, until the fish is just cooked through, about 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish and mussels to a baking pan, leaving the broth in the skillet, and keep warm in the oven. Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil, add the vegetables and whisk in the 4 tablespoons of butter, little by little, until fully incorporated. Whisk in the herbs.
  • Divide the fish and mussels among 4 wide, shallow soup plates or bowls. Divide the broth and vegetables among the plates and serve immediately.

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

7 tablespoons butter
8 ounces white mushrooms, washed and sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 hazelnuts
2 almonds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt
10 pearl onions, peeled and halved
20 lima or peeled fava beans
4 sea bass, red snapper or other fillets, 6 ounces each
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 cup cream
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons minced fresh marjoram or oregano

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons of butter and mushrooms in skillet and turn heat to high. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then drizzle with honey. When mushrooms brown, add lime juice, vinegar and soy sauce, and pour into small saucepan. Do not clean skillet.
  • Add 1 cup water to skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Pour into saucepan and simmer mixture over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes. Strain; reserve liquid and discard solids.
  • Meanwhile, combine nuts, coriander, sesame seeds and pepper in a small dry skillet. Turn heat to medium and toast mixture, shaking pan occasionally, until spices are fragrant, just a minute or two. Grind to powder in mortar and pestle or in a spice or coffee mill.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it. Add onions and cook about 5 minutes, or just until tender. Remove with slotted spoon. Add beans and cook for about 2 minutes, or just until tender. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Put 3 tablespoons of butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Stir, scraping down the sides with rubber spatula, until butter foam subsides and butter turns nut brown. Immerse bottom of pan in bowl or pan of ice water to stop cooking (about 30 seconds), then keep warm over lowest possible heat.
  • Put nut and seed powder onto plate. Season fillets with salt and cayenne, and brush with cream on all sides. Dredge only flesh sides in spice mixture and set aside.
  • Put remaining 2 tablespoons butter in skillet large enough to hold fish in one layer (work in batches if needed and use a little more butter). Turn heat to medium-high. When butter melts, add fish and turn heat to high. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, until fish is cooked through.
  • Combine mushroom stock and browned butter and heat through; season to taste, then stir in onions, beans and tomatoes. Put fish fillets in individual bowls and surround with broth and vegetables. Garnish with marjoram and serve.

Black Bass with Hon-Shimeji Mushrooms, Razor Clams, and Tomato-Garlic Marinade image

Provided by Shea Gallante

Categories     Fish     Leafy Green     Mushroom     Tomato     Sauté     Bass     Clam     Summer     Shallot     Sugar Snap Pea

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 fillets black sea bass, about 6 to 8 ounces each
2 chives, whites only
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
1 dozen fresh live razor clams
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 cup Wondra flour*
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup snow peas, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup mustard greens
1 cluster Hon-Shimeji mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
1/4 cup fish stock
1/4 cup fresh clam juice or high-quality bottled clam juice
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon tarragon, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, score the skin of each fish fillet, being careful not to cut into the flesh.
  • Slice the garlic chives very thin and place them in a small saucepot with the cup of olive oil. Cook over a very low flame until very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the flame and add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside.
  • Remove the razor clams and split them lengthwise. Julienne the clams and store them over ice or in the refrigerator.
  • In a large, hot sauté pan, add enough canola oil to just coat the bottom of the pan and heat to just below smoking point. Season the fish filets with fresh pepper, Wondra flour, and sea salt. Place fish skin-side down in pan, making sure to press down with a fish spatula to prevent fish from curling. Cook until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip fish and finish cooking on the other side until it is just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • In another medium sauté pan, add a little bit of canola over low heat and sweat the shallots, sugar snap peas, and snow peas until tender, making sure to avoid any caramelization. Raise heat to medium, add the mustard greens and then the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the fish stock and clam juice and reduce by half. Add the razor clams and immediately remove pan from heat, stirring constantly. Add extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream, then add chopped tarragon. Season to taste.
  • Add the chopped parsley to the tomato-garlic marinade, stirring to reincorporate oil and vinegar. Divide the garnish equally among 4 plates, top with fish, and spoon about 1 teaspoon of tomato-garlic relish over top of the fish.
  • *Low-moisture flour, available at all supermarkets.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

20 large cloves garlic
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
1/2 cup top-quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound potatoes, preferably fingerling, Ruby Crescent or Yellow Finn
1 medium Spanish onion, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 small bunch rosemary
1 small bunch thyme
4 6-ounce black sea bass fillets (or a 4- to 6-pound whole fish)
1 lemon, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 cups fish stock or clam juice
4 2-inch slices baguette
1/4 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
Tapenade (see recipe)

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.

SAUTEED BLACK SEA BASS WITH CAPERS AND HERB-BUTTER SAUCE



Sauteed Black Sea Bass With Capers and Herb-Butter Sauce image

Letting a fillet sizzle in a pan with butter, capers, and fresh herbs is one highly civilized way to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. Go with sea bass, trout, or snapper-or any flaky white fish with a thin skin that will get super-crispy in the pan.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skin-on black-sea-bass fillets (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Instant flour, such as Wondra, for sprinkling
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry vermouth
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup lightly packed chopped fresh tender herbs, such as parsley, dill, tarragon, and chives

Steps:

  • Pat fillets dry; slash skin side of each crosswise in 2-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour to evenly coat, shaking off excess.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers and wisps of smoke rise from skillet, add fish in a single layer, skin-sides down. Reduce heat to medium; cook, undisturbed,until skin is crisp and flesh is opaque halfway up sides and almost cooked through, 5 to 7minutes, depending on thickness.
  • Flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, skin-sides up. Add vermouth to skillet; boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add capers and butter; cook until butter simmers and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs. Return fish to skillet, skin-side up; spoon butter sauce over top. Serve immediately.

6 (3-to 4-inch) oregano sprigs
Equipment: kitchen string

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, gather all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Choose Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, choose fresh, seasonal, and organic produce.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Black sea bass is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Season the Fish Generously: Don't be afraid to season the fish generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the natural flavors of the fish.
  • Roast the Matsutake Mushrooms: Roasting the matsutake mushrooms will help to concentrate their flavor. Be sure to toss them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as rosemary and thyme, will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish. Be sure to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
  • Serve the Fish Immediately: Black sea bass is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the fish is moist and flaky.

Conclusion:

Black sea bass with matsutake mushrooms and rosemary is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The delicate flavor of the fish is perfectly complemented by the earthy flavor of the mushrooms and the bright, herbaceous flavor of the rosemary. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
