ASIAN-STYLE SIZZLING BLACK BASS
Steps:
- Make 4 deep, diagonal slashes down to the bone on both sides of the fish. Insert the ginger into the slashes. Refrigerate the fish until ready to cook.
- In a small saucepan, bring the sake, soy sauce, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and sugar to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool. Stir in the sliced scallions.
- Fill a wok or deep-fryer large enough to hold the fish with peanut oil to cover the fish by 1 inch. Heat the oil until very hot, about 375 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
- Season the fish lightly all over with salt and pepper, then dust it lightly but evenly with cornstarch. Hold the fish by the tail, carefully slip it head first and away from you into the hot oil. Fry it until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the flesh is cooked through, flaky, and separates easily from the bone, about 10 minutes.
- With long-handled metal tongs, remove the fish from the wok, letting excess oil drip back into the wok. Transfer the fish to a serving platter. Garnish the fish with scallion strips and cilantro and squeeze the lemon half over it. Serve immediately, passing the sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Arrange 4 fillets in a single layer in a glass or enamel pie plate. Top with half each of the scallions and ginger, then lay the remaining 4 fillets on top to make 4 sandwiches. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and refrigerate until ready to cook, or up to 30 minutes.
- Remove the fish from the refrigerator. Fill a wok or large Dutch oven with 2 to 3 inches of water; bring to a boil. Put a large steamer in the wok (the water should not touch the bottom of the steamer). Set the pie plate in the steamer, cover and steam until the fish is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and drizzle with any collected juices.
- Heat the peanut oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining ginger, the garlic, jalapeno, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and remove from the heat. Slice the remaining scallions into matchsticks and scatter over the fish along with the bell pepper. Pour the ginger mixture on top. Serve with rice.
STEAMED BLACK BEAN SPARERIBS
Steamed black bean spareribs (si zap zing pai gwat in Cantonese) are popular at dim sum restaurants but they are a dinnertime go-to in my family. With just a little marinating and simple steaming you have a tasty dish that is easy to round out with rice or noodles and blanched or stir-fried vegetables. (You can prepare them while the ribs cook.) Fermented black beans are the primary flavoring agent here, providing a unique savory saltiness. Pork sparerib tips come from the ends of spareribs that are butchered to yield St. Louis ribs. The ones sold in Asian markets tend to be about 1 inch thick, while the ones at many grocery stores are about 2 inches thick. If you use thinner rib tips, reduce the steaming to 15 minutes. If you can only find whole spareribs, ask the butcher to cut them crosswise into 2-inch-thick pieces.

Steps:
- If the sparerib tips come in a slab, cut them into individual ribs.
- Toss together the ribs, light soy sauce, fermented black beans, cooking wine, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon white pepper in a large bowl. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- When the ribs are almost ready, prepare a steamer setup with a rack in a large pot or wok (see Cook's Note). Add enough water to the pot so it reaches just below the rack, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
- Add the cornstarch and oil to the ribs and mix well. Place the ribs in a single layer on a large heatproof rimmed plate or shallow bowl that fits inside the pot. Sprinkle the ribs with the chiles.
- Place the plate on the rack in the pot, cover and steam until the ribs are opaque on the exterior and cooked through, 25 to 28 minutes (see Cook's Note). Garnish with the scallions and carefully remove the plate from the pot using tongs or oven mitts.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the chives in a food processor. Turn on the processor and add the olive oil through the feed tube in a thin steady stream. Season with salt and pepper. Stop to taste, then adjust, adding more oil, chives, salt or pepper as desired. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and reserve.
- Place the sea bass in a sauté pan or roasting pan just large enough to fit the fillets. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast until the fish is just barely cooked in the center. It will continue to cook once it is removed from the oven. (It should take about 9 minutes per inch of thickness.)
- Transfer the sea bass to serving plates and sprinkle with the chive oil.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest seabass possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes.
- Score the seabass before steaming. This will help the fish cook evenly and allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate.
- Use a variety of aromatics in your marinade. This will give the fish a complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include ginger, garlic, scallions, and lemongrass.
- Don't overcook the seabass. Steamed fish is best when it is cooked just until it is opaque in the center.
- Serve the seabass with a variety of dipping sauces. This will allow your guests to customize their meal to their own taste.
Conclusion:
Steamed Chilean seabass is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a light and flavorful meal, give steamed Chilean seabass a try.
