ROSEMARY AND LIME ROASTED SEA BASS WITH MEDITERRANEAN SALSA
Steps:
- Prepare the Mediterranean Salsa: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend before serving or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- 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.
ROASTED SLASHED FILLET OF SEA BASS STUFFED WITH HERBS, BAKED ON MUSHROOM POTATOES WITH SALSA VERDE -- A LA TONY BLAIR
This is something I cooked for Tony Blair and the Italian Prime Minister at the British/Italian Summit last year. It went down a treat so I thought I'd put it in the book. This is a really great way to cook sea bass. Try and get the biggest bass you can find. Failing that, royal bream is fantastic cooked this way too.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 240C/475F/Gas 9. Slash the fish fillets about half way down and stuff with the herbs. Wash the potatoes and slice them lengthways, just under a 1/2-inch thick. Dry them off with kitchen paper and very lightly coat them in olive oil. Mix in half of your finely chopped garlic, season with salt and pepper, then lay them out in one layer on a flat baking tray. It is always helpful to put a bit of greaseproof on the bottom of the tray, rubbed with olive oil. Lay your potatoes out in a thin layer and put it in the oven for around 12 minutes until they are lightly golden and soft. Remove and put to one side. In a pan add the remaining garlic with 2 good knobs of butter and sprinkle with parsley. Now scatter the mushrooms over the potatoes. Place your sea bass fillets on top, cut the lemons in half and place in the tray as well. Now bake in the oven for 12 to15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove the tray, cover the top with foil and let sit for about 5 minutes during which time all the juices will run out onto the potatoes. Serve it with salsa verde and a crisp white wine.
- The secret of a good salsa verde is to chop all the ingredients very finely and to use it the same day, as it doesn't tend to keep for long, even in the fridge. A fantastic accompaniment to any grilled meat or fish. Particularly good with sea bass recipe.Finely chop the first 7 ingredients and put them into a bowl. Add the mustard and red wine vinegar then slowly stir in the olive oil. Balance the flavors with freshly ground black pepper and, if necessary, sea salt and a little more red wine vinegar.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill. Use at room temperature.)
Tips:
- To ensure the sea bass is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If they are not, the thicker parts may not cook through by the time the thinner parts are done.
- To get the skin of the sea bass crispy, be sure to pat it dry before roasting. This will help the skin to crisp up and not steam.
- The salsa verde is a great way to add flavor and brightness to the sea bass. Be sure to use fresh herbs, as this will give the salsa the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make the salsa verde, you can substitute a store-bought pesto. However, the homemade salsa verde is definitely worth the extra effort.
- This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sea bass will start to dry out if it is left to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This herb-roasted sea bass with salsa verde is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sea bass is cooked to perfection and the salsa verde adds a pop of flavor and brightness. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
