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
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
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.
  • Once the garlic is done, raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees.

  • 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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality fish: The fresher the fish, the better the dish will taste. Look for fish that is bright in color and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Cook the fish properly: Black sea bass is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Make sure the tapenade is flavorful: The tapenade is a key component of this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of olives, capers, and herbs to create a well-rounded flavor profile.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Black sea bass is best served hot out of the oven. This will help to preserve the fish's delicate flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Black sea bass with tapenade is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its flaky fish, flavorful tapenade, and crispy skin, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both easy to make and delicious, give black sea bass with tapenade a try. You won't be disappointed.
