Jerk Sea Bass Pineapple Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• To make the jerk marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the onion, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, water, and jalapeño. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• To make the habanero vinegar: In a food processor, com¬bine the habanero chile and vinegar and purée until smooth. Pour into a small bowl. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
• To make the pineapple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until sauce is thick and reduced to about one-third, about 15 minutes. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• To make the pineapple salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapeños, bell pepper, cilantro, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 8 hours.)
• To make the jerk spice rub: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, salt, nutmeg, chile powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl.
• Use a butter knife to pry the membrane off the bone side of the ribs. Once you get a piece of the membrane loose, grab it with a paper towel and pull it toward the other end of the slab to remove it. Rub the Jerk Spice Rub evenly over the ribs. Arrange the ribs in a 15-by-10-in/38-by-25-cm baking pan. Pour the Jerk Marinade over the ribs, turning to coat both sides. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Remove ribs from marinade, letting the excess drip off. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Brush with the Habanero Vinegar.
• To cook ribs using a charcoal grill: Prepare grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Place a shallow metal pan filled with water in the center of the grill and arrange the hot coals around it. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate directly above the water-filled pan, cover the grill, and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add coals as needed to maintain medium heat.
• To cook ribs using a gas grill: Preheat the grill with all the burners on high. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate, turn off the burner directly under the ribs, and reduce the other burners to medium heat. Cover the grill and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• After 45 minutes, brush the ribs with some of the Pineapple Glaze, and brush them two or three times before serving. Do not flip the ribs during cooking. When the ribs are done, they will be well browned and the meat will have shrunk back from the ends of the bones. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting rack into individual ribs. Serve warm with the Pineapple Salsa.

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.

Steps:

• Combine first 10 ingredients in medium bowl; toss to blend. Season salsa with salt. Chill to blend flavors, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours, tossing occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Top with salsa and serve.

Steps:

• Squeeze the juice from the halved lime on the fish. Rub each fish inside and out with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the jerk rub. Salt and pepper the fish, if needed. Put 2 slices of lime, and 2 sprigs of thyme in the stomach cavity of each fish. Brush the outside of the fish with oil, and place on a hot grill. Cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until the flesh flakes easily. Serve with Pineapple Salsa.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
• Mix ingredients together in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more hot sauce, if you desire.
• To a blender, add peppers and 1 cup of vinegar and puree. Add remaining vinegar, if needed. Stir in pimento seeds. Store in a bottle or jar in refrigerator for no more than 6 months.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, combine the red onions, green onions, oil, water, lime juice, soy sauce, Scotch bonnet chiles, garlic, ketchup, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and thyme and process until a smooth paste forms. Set aside.
• Wash the chicken breasts and pat dry. Using rubber gloves cover each breast with the jerk paste.
• Place the chicken in a zip lock plastic bag and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas barbecue for indirect grilling, placing a drip pan under the cool side of the grill rack. Preheat to 350ºF.
• Make sure the grill rack is clean and oil it thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and move to the prepared grill rack over direct heat.
• Cook for 5 minutes per side, then move the chicken to the cool side of the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer per side, until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF.
• Remove the chicken from the grill and let stand for 10 minutes, covered.
• Meanwhile, prepare the salsa by combining the pineapple, mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice in a food processor and pulsing 3 or 4 times until the ingredients are chopped, but still chunky.
• Remove to a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Serve each breast topped with a generous portion of salsa. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pat fish dry with paper towels and lightly season with seafood seasoning.
• Coat an ovenproof skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer but not smoke, about 1 minute. Place seasoned fish in the hot skillet and cook until lightly brown on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn fish over and place skillet in the preheated oven. Roast until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer fish to a plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Drain any excess oil from the skillet and return to the stove over medium-high heat. Add pineapple juice and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Add wine, chicken stock, and cream. Simmer until as thick as desired, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, add mustard and butter. Whisk until melted and smooth. Serve sauce over roasted sea bass.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the fish dry, with paper towels and lightly season with Old Bay Seasoning. (NOTE: If you can't find Old Bay Seasoning, lightly season with salt & pepper and a little paprika.) In an oven-proof skillet, add enough oil to lightly coat the skillet. Heat on medium-high until the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke. Place the seasoned fish into the skillet and allow to sear, until lightly brown-- about 4 to 5 minutes. Test that the fish is ready to be turned, when a skillet easily loosens the fish. Turn the fish over, then place the skillet into the preheated oven. Roast for about 7 to 9 minutes (internal temperature should be about 140°F). Remove the fish to a plate, and tightly cover with foil. SAUCE: Drain any excess oil and return the skillet to the stove, on medium-high. Add the pineapple juice, and deglaze the pan by scraping any browned bits. Add the white wine and chicken stock and allow the liquid to reduce to about half-- about 5 minutes, on medium-high. Remove the skillet from heat, and add the unsalted butter. Whisk until melted and smooth.
