GRILLED STRIPED BASS WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES



Grilled Striped Bass with Tomatoes and Olives image

Top crusty bread with perfectly grilled bass and a light tomato-and-olive relish.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more, for the grill grates
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 1 1/4-pound fillet wild striped bass, preferably a center cut of even thickness
4 slices crusty bread

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grill grates.
  • Toss together the olives, parsley, vinegar, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper and toss again; set aside until juicy.
  • Meanwhile, brush the fish on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish, skin side up, until it has strong grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 5 minutes. Rotate it about 45 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern and continue to grill for another 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook until just opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the side registers about 135 degrees F, 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Using the natural seams of the fish as a guide, cut into 4 pieces. Put a slice of bread on 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of fish and spoon the tomato mixture and its juices over the top.

COUSCOUS WITH GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES AND LOADS OF HERBS



Couscous with Grilled Summer Vegetables and Loads of Herbs image

This couscous recipe is quite different from the norm because instead of boiling or steaming the couscous you just feed it from ray with a really tasty dressing. This means it keeps a slight bite which I think is mote interesting for salad.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

9 ounces couscous
1/2 pint cold water
3 red peppers
1 handful asparagus, trimmed and peeled if necessary
2 or 3 small firm patty pan squash
1 small bunch spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
2 to 4 fresh red chilies, seeded and finely sliced
3 good handfuls mixed fresh herbs (best are coriander, mint, flat leaf parsley)
1 recipe olive oil and lemon juice dressing, recipe follows
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons best quality olive oil
1 level teaspoon salt
1 level teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the couscous in a bowl with the cold water. This will start to soften the couscous and you will see the water disappear as its soaks in. While the couscous is softening, we need to blacken the peppers. I do this by placing the peppers directly on the naked flame of my gas burner. If you don't have gas, then blacken under the grill. Both ways you need to blacken the peppers on all sides, so turn when need be. When fully blackened, place in a sandwich bag, wrap in plastic wrap or cover in a bowl for 5 minutes until cool. This will steam the skins and make peeling and deseeding easier. Remove the skins and seeds and roughly chop. On a very hot ridged grill pan, lightly char the asparagus and patty pans on both sides then toss them into the bowl of couscous with the peppers, spring onions, chilies and torn or chopped herbs. Mix well. Add the olive oil and lemon juice dressing and toss well. Finally, taste and season with salt and pepper and a couple of dribbles of red wine vinegar for a slight twang. It's a beautiful thing.
  • Mix together all the ingredients

GRILLED STRIPED BASS WITH FIRE-ROASTED ONIONS AND PEPPERS



Grilled Striped Bass with Fire-Roasted Onions and Peppers image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Six 6-ounce fillets striped bass, about 1-inch thick, skin-on
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 medium red onions, very thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
12 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 cups dry white wine, divided
Olive oil
1 small bunch parsley, leaves chopped
Lemon wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high.
  • Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Divide the onions, peppers, and garlic into 6 portions. Place a mound of onions, peppers, and garlic in the center of a 12-by-24-inch sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place a portion of the fish on top, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley and add 1/4 cup of the wine. Fold the foil into a packet and seal it on all sides. Repeat with packets for the remaining fillets.
  • Place the packets on the grill, seam up, and cook until the fish is opaque, about 15 minutes. It is best to test the cook time with the one packet, as cooking time varies grill to grill. Carefully open the packets and serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED STRIPED BASS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND TOMATOES WITH CAPERBERRIES AND BLACK OLIVES WITH PARSLEY SALAD



Grilled Striped Bass with Cauliflower and Tomatoes with Caperberries and Black Olives with Parsley Salad image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes, passed through a food mill
Water
1 large head cauliflower, coarsely chopped
1 lemon, zested
1/4 cup slivered Gaeta or kalamata olives
1/4 cup sliced caperberries, cut into thin rounds
4 (6-ounce) wild striped bass fillets with skin
1 bunch Italian parsley, leaves picked
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • For the stew:
  • Coat a large saucepan with olive oil. Add the onions and bring to a medium heat. Add a generous pinch of salt and a small pinch of crushed red pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the onions look wilted and cooked but do not have any color. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and 3/4 of a can of water, and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Taste, it should taste good.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium heat and season it generously with salt. It should taste like the ocean. Add the cauliflower, let the water come to a rolling boil and cook the cauliflower for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. When done it should be really soft and almost falling apart. Strain the cauliflower and add it to the tomato mixture. Cook the cauliflower in the tomato sauce until the cauliflower has completely broken up and the sauce clings to the cauliflower, about 20 to 30 minutes. Taste to see if the seasoning needs to be adjusted. Stir in the lemon zest, olives and caperberries. Reserve. (This can totally be done ahead, it actually gets better when it IS done ahead. But it is still really good when made to order.)
  • For the fish:
  • Preheat the grill to medium and brush with oil if needed to remove any food particles. Pat the fish skin dry to make sure it is really dry. If you have time, let it hang out to dry for a few minutes before you grill it. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt on both sides. Put the fish, skin side down, on the preheated grill. Cook the fish for 2 to 3 minutes and then rotate the fish 90 degrees to create crisscross grill marks. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes and then turn the fish over and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • To assemble:
  • Reheat the cauliflower if it was done ahead. Serve the fish on serving plates, leaning on a mound of the cauliflower. In a small bowl toss the parsley with the lemon juice, salt and big fat drizzle of finishing oil. Garnish the fish with the parsley salad and more finishing oil, if desired.
  • YAY!
