STRIPED BASS WITH POTATOES AND OLIVES
From the chef Jonathan Waxman comes this simple, casually elegant dish, ideal for guests but not too fancy for family dinners. Bass fillet (one large piece, or two smaller fillets) is baked atop a bed of thinly sliced Yukon Golds, allowing the juices to soak into the potatoes, permeating them with flavor. A mandoline is useful for slicing the potatoes (watch those fingers!), or the slicing disc on your food processor. If you don't have either of those, a sharp knife will do nicely.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a little oil to brush the bottom of a shallow baking dish that can go to the table and is large enough to hold the fish in one piece. Spread potatoes in dish, overlapping, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Season flesh side of fish with salt and pepper. Place fish skin side up on the potatoes, sprinkle on remaining oil, scatter olives around and place bay leaves on top. Cover with parchment paper and bake 20 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through at the thickest part (a sharp knife will penetrate easily). Garnish with lemon and serve.

Steps:
- Put the potato slices in a saucepan, cover with water and boil until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Cut the fillet into six equal portions. Mix the vinegar and mustard together and brush on the flesh side of the fish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the oven is hot, spread a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer with the oil. Put in the oven for five minutes.
- Put the fish, skin side down, in the baking dish and bake for five minutes, just until the skin begins to crisp.
- Remove the fish from the baking dish and spread the garlic, onions, potatoes and greens in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Put the fish on top of the vegetables skin side up. Drizzle the wine around the greens and return the dish to the oven.
- Bake until the fish is cooked through and the greens have wilted, about 10 minutes. If you are using salmon, you may want to cook the fish a little less. Serve each portion of fish on a bed of greens and potatoes, moistening each serving with the pan juices.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until just fragrant, 1 minute. Add the anchovies, capers and olives and cook until the anchovies have begun to dissolve in the oil, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and the Basic Tomato Sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the fish fillets, making sure they are submerged in the sauce, and gently simmer until the fish is cooked through and the flesh is milky white and slightly flaky, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, cut each fingerling in half lengthwise and place in a medium bowl. Toss well with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes.
- Serve the potatoes alongside the puttanesca and garnish with basil and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar, and season with salt, to taste.
- Let extra sauce cool completely and then seal in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up 1 week and freeze for up to 1 month.

GINGER SEA BASS OVER WILTED GREENS
This recipe is one that Giada De Laurentiis prepared for a wedding that was televised on Food Network. The guests went crazy over the recipe when I was watching it, so I thought I would share it with all of you. This recipe would also be wonderful with any firm white fish, such as swordfish or tuna etc. I bet it would be great with haddock or flounder too.

Tips:
- To ensure the striped bass is cooked evenly, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature. The fish is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the striped bass in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to sear the fish on all sides so that it gets a nice crust.
- The type of greens you use is up to you. You could use spinach, kale, or even arugula. Just be sure to wash the greens thoroughly before using them.
- If you don't have baby potatoes, you can use regular potatoes. Just be sure to cut them into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
- To make the lemon-butter sauce, you can use either unsalted or salted butter. If you're using salted butter, be sure to omit the salt from the recipe.
Conclusion:
This striped bass recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The combination of the flaky fish, the tender greens, and the creamy potatoes is sure to please everyone at the table.
