Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ounce filet of bass
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 to 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
Branch fresh rosemary
Sprig fresh thyme
Preserved Lemon Dressing, for serving, recipe follows
Grilled Carrots, for serving, recipe follows
Fresh dill for garnish
1 preserved lemon, store-bought or homemade, cut in quarters (see note)
1 pint of mayonnaise
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
6 to 8 baby carrots
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Drizzle olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Season the skin side of the filet with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof saute pan to medium high. When the oil is hot, add the fish, skin side down, and saute for one minute until a slight crust forms and the filet isn't sticking to the pan. Place the saute pan in the hot oven for 6 to 8 minutes until the flesh is firm and cooked through. Remove the saute pan from the oven and place it on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the butter, garlic, shallot, rosemary and thyme and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the filet to a paper towel. Place a dollop of Preserved Lemon Dressing on a plate and place 3 to 4 Grilled Carrots on top of the dressing. Arrange the filet to the side of the carrots and garnish with the dill.
  • Place the ingredients in a blender and blitz until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Cook's Note: To make homemade preserved lemons, submerge 6 Meyer lemons, quartered, in a quart of salt and a quart of sugar and water for 30 days.
  • Peel the baby carrots and place them in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper and olive oil and toss together. Arrange the carrots on a baking sheet set over a sheet pan and broil them under a pre-heated salamander on high for 4 minutes, turning it down to low for a further 4 minutes. They are done when they are fork tender with a slight bite and have a nice roasted color.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds skinless striped-bass fillet
2 teaspoons grated garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon (about 2 teaspoons), plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cut fennel stalks from bulb; reserve 1/4 cup of picked fronds. Place stalks lengthwise on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with fish, slashed side up.

PAN-FRIED STRIPED BASS WITH LEMON SAUCE



Pan-Fried Striped Bass with Lemon Sauce image

Pan-frying is best for thinner fillets and steaks, or for whole fish that are no more than 1 inch thick. Season the fish with salt and pepper and other seasonings such as chopped fresh herbs or crushed spices as desired. For skinless fillets, heat a heavy sauté or frying pan until quite hot; add just enough oil, clarified butter, or a mix of oil and whole butter to cover the bottom of the pan. Carefully add the fish and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes (4 to 5 minutes for whole fish) and then turn. Cook for another 3 minutes and test for doneness. Remove the fish from the pan when it is just slightly underdone, as it will continue cooking in the residual heat. When cooking fish with skin, add more fat to the pan, about 1/8 inch deep. Put the fish into the pan skin side down. The skin will shrink while it cooks, pulling the fish up from the bottom of the pan. To keep the skin next to the hot pan (which is necessary to crisp it), weigh the fillets down with a foil-wrapped skillet that is slightly smaller than the one used for the cooking. This will hold the fillets fl at and ensure even crisping of the skin. Cook the fillets on their skin for the majority of the time, about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on their thickness, then turn them and cook on the flesh side for just another minute or two, or until done. Remember that the pan must be quite hot before the fish is added; this will keep it from sticking. Also, don't crowd the fish or it will sweat and give off liquid, ruining any chances of browning and crisping. Lastly, don't overcook the fish. A quick pan sauce can be made aft er you have removed the fish and poured off the cooking fat. Add tomato sauce to the hot pan and stir in all the brown bits left on the pan for added flavor, or deglaze the hot pan with wine or lemon juice and finish with a swirl of butter or extra-virgin olive oil and a handful of herbs. Add a handful of toasted nuts for flavor and texture. The striped bass fishery, once endangered, has fully recovered and is now flourishing. This fish is especially delicious with its skin left on and sautéed until brown and crispy.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt
Fresh-ground black pepper
4 pieces striped bass, skin on (4 to 6 ounces each)
Salt
Fresh-ground black pepper
Olive oil, enough to generously coat the bottom

Steps:

  • For the sauce, whisk together: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, Salt, Fresh-ground black pepper.
  • Taste for salt and lemon juice and adjust as desired. The sauce will separate as it sits; this is not a problem.
  • Season: 4 pieces striped bass, skin on (4 to 6 ounces each) with: Salt, Fresh-ground black pepper.
  • Choose a heavy-bottomed pan for frying the fish. Take another, slightly smaller pan that will fit into the pan for the fish, and wrap its bottom with foil. This pan will be used as a weight to hold the fish flat against the frying pan to ensure that all of the skin will cook and crisp. (You will see the fish contract when it goes into the hot pan, as the skin shrinks on contact with the heat.) Warm the larger pan over medium-high heat. When hot, pour in: Olive oil, enough to generously coat the bottom.
  • Add the pieces of bass, skin side down, and place the foil-wrapped pan on top of the fish. Cook until the skin is brown and crispy, about 7 minutes. Check now and then to see that the fish is indeed browning, but not overbrowning. Adjust the heat up or down to speed up or slow down the cooking as needed. When the skin is browned, remove the top pan and turn the fish. Cook for another minute or so, until the fish is just cooked through, but is still moist and tender inside. Meanwhile whisk the lemon sauce together again and pour it onto a warm plate. Serve the fish skin side up, on top of the sauce.
  • Garnish the fish with a couple spoonfuls of chopped tender herbs such as parsley, chives, chervil, cilantro, or basil.
  • Soak, rinse, and squeeze dry a tablespoon or so of capers. When the fish is cooked add the capers to the hot pan and sauté for a minute or two. Remove with a slotted spoon and scatter over the fish.
  • Make a Beurre Blanc (Warm Butter Sauce; page 228) instead of the olive oil sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh striped bass fillets. If you can't find striped bass, you can substitute another firm, white-fleshed fish, such as sea bass, halibut, or cod.
  • To achieve crispy skin, pat the fish fillets dry before cooking. You can also score the skin with a sharp knife, which will help the skin crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you're cooking multiple fillets, make sure they're evenly spaced so they all cook evenly.
  • Broil the fish for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it's cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the broiled striped bass immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Broiled striped bass is a delicious and healthy meal that's easy to make. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the delicate flavor of striped bass, and the lemon-herb butter adds a bright and flavorful touch. Serve the broiled striped bass with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes, for a complete and satisfying meal.
