2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Dried rosemary branches for roasting (optional)

  • 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.

OVEN-ROASTED SEA BASS WITH GINGER AND LIME SAUCE



Oven-Roasted Sea Bass with Ginger and Lime Sauce image

Categories     Citrus     Ginger     Roast     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Lime     Bass     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced shallot
5 teaspoons light or regular olive oil
2 6-ounce sea bass fillets (each about 3/4 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Mix first 5 ingredients and 3 teaspoons oil in small bowl. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Brush 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Arrange fish in prepared dish; turn to coat. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; spoon 1/2 tablespoon sauce over each fillet.
  • Roast fish until just opaque in center, about 12 minutes. Top fish with remaining sauce and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy skin on your sea bass, pat the fish dry before cooking and score the skin in a diamond pattern. This will help the skin render and crisp up.
  • Make sure your cooking oil is hot before adding the sea bass. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the sea bass over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
  • To make the garlic-lime sauce, simply whisk together garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the sea bass immediately with the garlic-lime sauce.
  • For a more flavorful dish, you can marinate the sea bass in the garlic-lime sauce for up to 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have sea bass, you can substitute another type of white fish, such as tilapia or cod.
  • Garnish the sea bass with fresh cilantro or lime wedges before serving.

Conclusion:

Garlic lime sea bass is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy skin and flavorful garlic-lime sauce make this dish a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give garlic lime sea bass a try.
