Best 8 Striped Bass With Tomatoes Corn And Basil Recipes

STRIPED BASS WITH TOMATOES, CORN, AND BASIL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season fish with salt and pepper, and sear, skin side down, for 4 minutes. With a wide metal spatula, turn fish over and cook 1 minute. Do not cook through. Remove from the pan; set aside.
• Add onion to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and the edges begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
• Add jalapeno, wine, 1/4 cup water, corn, tomatoes, and fish, skin side up. Cover and cook 4 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through; transfer, skin side up, to four wide shallow bowls. Stir basil and cilantro into vegetable mixture and spoon around fish.

ROASTED STRIPED BASS WITH CORN RELISH AND CHIPOTLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the chipotle potato salad: Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a skewer inserted in a potato meets with no resistance, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, chipotle, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; add salt to taste. Add the potatoes, green onions and cilantro and mix gently to combine. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
• For the corn relish: Heat some canola oil in a saute pan over high heat. Add the corn, season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the piquillo peppers and jalapeno and cook for a few minutes longer.
• Transfer the corn mixture to a bowl, add the olive oil, green onions and lime zest and juice. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the basil oil: Prepare an ice bath. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat.
• Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 20 seconds. Remove with tongs and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain and squeeze out any excess water. Set aside.
• Combine the oil and basil leaves in a blender, add salt and pepper to taste and blend for a few minutes until the basil is completely pureed. Add some of the spinach (to make it greener). Strain through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
• For the striped bass: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Brush a cazuela or small cast-iron pan with canola oil. Season the bass on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the bass fillets in the pan and roast until opaque in the center, about 30 minutes.
• Drizzle the fish with the basil oil and sprinkle with lemon zest. Serve with the potato salad and corn relish.

ANDREW ENGLE'S MONTAUK WILD STRIPED BASS WITH TOMATOES AND ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• 1. Cut tomatoes into different shapes (thin wedges, halves, dice); place in a bowl. Combine with the onion, half of the parsley, corn, basil, lemon zest, juice, pepper, and 4 tablespoons oil. Set side.
• 2. Rub butter on the skin side of the fish; season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook fish, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Turn carefully; cook 3 to 4 minutes more.
• 3. Spoon tomato mixture onto 4 plates; top with a fillet. Drizzle with lemon juice; garnish with remaining parsley and serve.

STRIPED BASS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Make cream sauce: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add scallion and saute until tender. Add tomato and basil. Add chardonnay and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add heavy cream, reduce the heat, and simmer until the desired thickness is reached. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• After you have started the sauce, bake the fillet: place butter, chardonnay, and verjus in a baking pan. Season fish with salt and pepper and place in pan. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until fish is cooked through; the fish should be opaque throughout and a knife should slide in easily.
• Place fillets on a serving plate and spoon over the sauce. Serve with a fresh crusty baguette and a crisp green salad.

SLICED TOMATOES WITH CORN AND BASIL

Steps:

• Cut corn kernels off cob directly into a bowl, and toss with vinegar. Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until hot, and add corn mixture. Season with sea salt and pepper. Cook, stirring about 2 minutes or until corn is slightly steamed. Remove from heat, and stir in half the basil.
• Arrange heirloom tomato slices on a platter. Add cherry/grape tomatoes, and top with corn mixture. Drizzle with Rice Wine Vinaigrette with herbs, and top with remaining basil.
• Season with additional sea salt and pepper before serving.

STRIPED BASS WITH HEIRLOOM TOMATO SCAMPI

Steps:

• To cook the bass:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice. Once the oil begins to shimmer, place the fillets skin-side-down in the pan and let them cook, without moving them, until the skin is crisp and golden brown, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Give a light push to loosen the skin from the pan. Add the thyme sprigs to the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove fish from the oven and transfer to paper towels.
• To make the scampi:
• In a large skillet, heat the garlic oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and fennel seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the celery and capers and cook until the celery has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and cook until it is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar, lemon zest and juice, tomatoes, and basil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to incorporate the flavors and heat the tomatoes through.
• Serve the bass fillets topped with the tomato scampi.

STRIPED BASS ALL'AMATRICIANA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread olive oil in a baking dish just large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Season the flesh side of the fish with salt and pepper, and set aside on a plate or cutting board.
• In a heavy saucepan, heat the guanciale on medium low, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the cracklings are golden. Add the onion and cook until onion is soft and barely colored. Stir in garlic and continue cooking until it softens. Add tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently about 15 minutes, until tomatoes have come together and reduced a bit. Stir in chile flakes and remove from heat.
• Heat baking dish in the oven and when the oil is hot, remove it from the oven. Place fish, skin side down, in the dish. Spread the tomato mixture on the fish. Return dish to oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish just turns opaque and is cooked through. Serve at once or set aside at room temperature to serve in 30 minutes or so. Scatter basil on top just before serving.

WHOLE STRIPED BASS WITH FENNEL AND TOMATOES IN A ROASTING BAG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Scrape off any scales adhering to the fish and refrigerate.
• Cut the feathery green fronds off the fennel and reserve. Cut off the stalks at the top of the bulb and discard. Use a vegetable peeler to remove any rough, stringy fiber from the outside of the bulb and then cut the fennel into 3 wedges. Place in a non-aluminum pan with the wine, coriander seeds, olive oil and salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat, covered, until the wedges soften but still retain some crunch, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, rinse and dry the fish, season it with salt and pepper and slide it into a roasting bag. (If the fish is too large you can cut off its head, but avoid this if possible as a headless fish makes a much less dramatic presentation.)
• Put the fennel, its cooking liquid and the reserved fennel fronds in the bag with the fish. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and add them to the bag. Push down on the bag to squeeze out excess air and seal with string.
• Carefully place the bag in an oval baking dish or shallow pan (it's easiest to bake the fish in something you can take straight to the table) and bake for about 15 minutes per inch of thickness (about 30 minutes for a 2-inch-thick fish).
• To serve, cut the bag open with a knife or scissors and serve pieces of fish surrounded by fennel, chopped tomatoes and a spoonful of the cooking juices.
