Provided by Brian Boitano

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds asparagus
1 1/4 pounds filet mignon, cut into 6 equal portions
3 tablespoons canola oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, smashed
5 sprigs fresh thyme
Olive oil
1 head cauliflower, florets and stems cut into large pieces
1 Fuji apple, peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or broth
Canola oil
1 1/2 pounds sea bass fillet, cut into 6 equal portions
2 tablespoons butter
1 large leek
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups white wine
1 cup vegetable stock or broth
4 tablespoons butter
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small pot, over medium-low heat, add the vinegar and brown sugar, and whisk to combine. Cook and reduce until thick, about the consistency of maple syrup. Whisk in 2 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve drizzled over filet mignon and asparagus.
  • For Filet and Asparagus:
  • Slice the bottom 1 1/2 inches off the asparagus. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and blanch for 1 minute. Remove from the water and shock in an ice bath. Transfer the asparagus from the ice bath to a sheet pan lined with a paper towel.
  • Take the filets out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before they are to be cooked so they can come to temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Heat canola oil in a large heavy bottomed skilled over high heat. Season each filet liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the filets in the skillet until brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Turn the heat to low and add the 4 tablespoons of butter, the garlic and fresh thyme. Using a spoon, baste the filets with the melted butter. Put the pan in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare or until the internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Asparagus should be slightly tender but still have a little snap when you bite into them.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To a large baking dish add the cauliflower, apple, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Roast in oven until brown on top, about 25 minutes, then add the vegetable stock and roast until tender, another 20 minutes.
  • Add the roasted cauliflower, apple and stock to a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a metal bowl and put over a pot of simmering water to keep warm.
  • Turn oven down to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat some canola oil in a large heavy bottomed skilled over high heat. Season each fillet liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the fillets, skin side down, until brown and crispy, turn over and crisp the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn off the heat, add butter and, using a spoon, baste the fillets with the melted butter. Transfer to the oven to finish cooking, about 4 minutes.
  • Beurre Blanc Sauce:
  • Slice the green leaves off the leek and discard. Slice the stem into 1/4-inch thick rings. Put them into a large bowl filled with cold water and let soak for 5 minutes. Remove the leaks and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine and add the vegetable stock. Reduce by half and then whisk in the cold butter. Serve over sea bass.
  • To Plate:
  • Using a rectangular plate lay a bed of 3 to 4 asparagus down on 1 side of the plate. Arrange a piece of filet mignon on top and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. On the other side of the plate put about a 1/4 cup of the cauliflower puree, top with a piece of sea bass and drizzle with the leek sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a total of 6 servings.

SEA BASS WITH TOMATO COULIS, BASIL AND ASPARAGUS



Sea Bass With Tomato Coulis, Basil and Asparagus image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ripe plum tomatoes, skins removed and cored (about 1 1/4 pound)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
16 large asparagus, about 2 pounds
12 fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 fillets of black sea bass, skins on (about 1/3 pound each)
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Halve tomatoes lengthwise, and over a strainer set in a bowl, squeeze to remove juice and seeds. Place tomatoes and strained juice in the bowl of a blender along with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the vinegar. Blend to a fine puree.
  • Cut tough stems from asparagus, and discard. With a vegetable scraper, peel asparagus, starting about two inches from tips. Rinse and drain. Cook in boiling salted water for about 6 minutes. Drain immediately, and cool in ice water. Remove, and set aside.
  • With a rubber spatula, push tomato mixture through a fine sieve, to yield about 2 cups of liquid. Place tomato juice in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Add basil, remove from heat, cover and let stand in a warm place.
  • Cut three 1/4-inch slices from the flower end of each asparagus. Place a tablespoon of butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus tips and the rest of the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Cook briefly or until just done. Remove asparagus from pan, and keep warm.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick pan over high heat. Season fish well, and place in pan, skin side down, cooking for about 1 1/2 minutes a side, or until skin is nicely browned. Flip gently, cover, and remove from heat. Fish will continue to cook.
  • To serve, remove basil from tomato sauce. Distribute sauce evenly over four warm plates. Place fish, skin side up, over sauce. To arrange asparagus on each plate, distribute small pieces around edge; place two large asparagus pieces alongside fish and lay two more long pieces over them in a criss-cross pattern.

ROASTED SEA BASS



Roasted Sea Bass image

This whole fish is roasted with tomato, lime, onions, thyme, olive oil and white wine.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (about 2 pounds, 10 ounces) sea bass, cleaned, scaled, and gutted
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small fresh red chiles
20 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lime, thinly sliced crosswise
1 large beefsteak tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large onion, sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet white wine, such as a sweet Riesling
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Score sea bass at 1-inch intervals. Brush the inside cavity of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Place chile peppers and 10 thyme sprigs inside the cavity. Brush both sides of the fish with olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper.
  • In a 10-by-18-inch roasting pan, or one large enough to hold the fish, arrange lime, tomato, and onion slices so they form a bed for the fish, and season them with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place the fish on top, and pour 6 tablespoons olive oil over fish.
  • Transfer the roasting pan to the broiler, and cook fish for 10 minutes, until the skin is slightly crisp on top. Lower the oven to 400 degrees. Add wine to the roasting pan, and return fish to the oven to roast. Roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer fish to a large serving dish.
  • Pick 1 heaping teaspoon thyme leaves from remaining sprigs. Place the vegetables from the roasting pan into a sieve, and strain the juices into a bowl, pressing out any additional juices from the vegetables to create sauce. Stir the thyme leaves and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil into this sauce, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and add lime juice to taste. Gently reheat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, making sure not to let it boil. Fillet the fish, pour the sauce over, and serve.

BASS SATAY WITH ASPARAGUS



Bass Satay with Asparagus image

Categories     Garlic     Ginger     Broil     Marinate     Low Fat     Bass     Asparagus     Sake     Self

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Marinade
1 cup sake (found in Asian grocery stores)
1 cup mirin (found in Asian grocery stores)
1 cup miso (found in Asian grocery stores)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped ginger
1/2 cup chopped garlic
Satay
2 pieces Chilean sea bass (2 ounces each)
4 jumbo stalks peeled asparagus (4 inches)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced chives

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients. Reserve 2 tbsp and marinate bass in the rest (covered, in the refrigerator) for 24 hours. Spear each piece of fish on a wooden skewer. Place on foil-lined pan and broil until sauce caramelizes, 3 or 4 minutes. Toss asparagus with oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a sauté pan (no oil) over high heat, 7 minutes. Add asparagus; sauté all sides. Arrange asparagus on a plate. Top with bass, drizzle with reserved marinade, garnish with chives. (To evaporate alcohol, increase sake and mirin to 1 1/4 cups each. Simmer until mixture is reduced by half and is syrupy.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right sea bass: Look for a firm, plump fish with bright, clear eyes and a shiny, silvery skin.
  • Score the skin: This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Season the fish liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Roast the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy flesh.
  • Make the asparagus sauce while the fish is roasting: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Roasted sea bass is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted sea bass with asparagus sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The fish is cooked to perfection and the asparagus sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
