Soy Seared Sea Bass With Pineapple Salsa image

I used to work in an upscale gourmet foods store, and this recipe was a huge success with the clientele. I've scaled it down to a normal sized recipe, but you may choose to tweek some of the flavors before cooking. Taste the marinade before you put the fish in!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb sea bass, cleaned & cut into 6-8 oz. portions
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
4 ounces brown sugar (a little more than 1/2 c., packed)
vegetable oil, as needed
1/2 of a fresh pineapple, cleaned & cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, 1/4-inch dice
1/2 green bell pepper, 1/4-inch dice
3 tablespoons red onions, 1/4-inch dice
1/2 fresh jalapeno, seeded & minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, rough chop
1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffanade cut
olive oil, to coat
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • For the fish, mix soy, teriyaki & brown sugar thoroughly. Place portions of sea bass in mixture and make sure fish is either completely covered, or turn frequently. Marinate up to 2 hours; no less than a half hour.
  • For the salsa, prep all ingredients and toss together until fully mixed. Set aside while fish is being cooked.
  • After marinating fish, in a large saute pan, heat about 1/8" oil over high heat. (Make sure oil coats the entire bottom--this gets a bit sticky without the proper coating.).
  • Once oil "pops," cook sea bass until soy is well caramelized on fish, turning a dark brown and releasing from the pan, then flip over and continue until fish is done, flaking easily when pierced with a fork.
  • (I will not tell you how long, because it really, REALLY depends on the thickness of the fish pieces. Just watch it carefully!).
  • Hold fish on a cooling rack in a warm (170 -200 degree) oven until ready to serve, best when done immediately.
  • Serve with salsa and a few avocado wedges if you want to get fancy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a complete disaster. The sea bass was mushy and the pineapple salsa was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The sea bass was dry and overcooked, and the pineapple salsa was nothing special.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland and unappetizing. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was amazing! The sea bass was cooked to perfection and the pineapple salsa was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again and again.

The sea bass was delicious, but the pineapple salsa was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more savory salsa.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the sea bass was cooked perfectly and the salsa had a nice kick.
