Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fish stock
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup lowsodium soy sauce
3 stalks fresh lemongrass, crushed
2 tablespoons peeled , finely chopped fresh ginger
1 chili pepper or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup chopped scallions
12 large fresh shiitake mushroom caps
1 small bok choy, washed and sliced into wedges
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1 1/2 pound whole sea bass, scales removed, head on and gutted
1 recipe Saffron Basmati Rice

Steps:

  • Combine the fish stock, dry sherry and soy in a large skillet and bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Crush the lemon grass with the back of a knife to release its oils and chop the ginger. Add the lemongrass, ginger and all remaining ingredients except the fish to the simmering liquid and continue to simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • The skillet should be large enough so that when the fish is placed in a bamboo steamer, the steamer basket nestles over the skillet tightly. Place lettuce leaves on steamer basket and lay whole sea bass on bed of lettuce. After placing the whole fish in the bamboo steamer and the steamer is nestled over the simmering liquid, cover the basket with a bamboo cover, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and steam gently for 8 to 9 minutes. When completely cooked, remove from the heat, place the fish on a bed of the bok choy and mushrooms and strain the broth. Discard the lemon grass, and ladle a little of the broth over the top. Scatter the more chopped scallions freely as a garnish.

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups sel gris, or chunky sea salt
4 thin slices lemon
6 sprigs tarragon
1 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound sea bass or red snapper, cleaned
Extra virgin olive oil, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place salt in a baking dish, and heat in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove salt from oven, and increase temperature to 450 degrees. In the bottom of a roasting pan large enough for the fish, spoon about a third of the warm salt in the approximate shape and size of the fish. Lay 2 slices of lemon and 3 sprigs of tarragon on the salt.
  • Lay the fish on top. Place the remaining lemon slices and tarragon on top of the fish. Spoon the remaining salt on top of the fish, patting it on the sides and making sure to cover it completely.
  • Bake the fish 10 to 12 minutes, or 8 minutes for each inch of thickness. Check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife through the salt crust into the thickest part of the fish and wedging it slightly to see if the flesh is cooked.
  • Remove fish from oven, and quickly break off the salt, brushing off as much as possible. Transfer to a serving platter. At the table, remove the skin and fillet the fish. Pass the olive oil for sprinkling over the fillets.
