Roasted Chilean Sea Bass With Chive Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Slice shallots, saute with butter and add white wine. Cook total reduction, add fish stock, and reduce to 1/2. Add heavy cream. Blend with 2 ounces of butter; add the soy, salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
• Make the garnish: Slice the onion, dredge in flour. Shake off excess and fry until golden brown. Keep warm on a paper towel. Cut the scallion and saute with olive oil. Mix with the whipped potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm. Peel, de-seed and dice tomatoes. Cut chives.
• Progression: Saute the bass with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. When thoroughly cooked squeeze lemon juice on fish.
• Ready to eat: To serve, place some whipped potatoes on the center of the plate. Add tomatoes and chives to the sauce, place around the potatoes. Place the fish on the potatoes and top with fried onions. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Sear the tomatoes over medium heat, add the leeks, and cook together 3 minutes. Add the shallots, olives, capers, reserved tomato juice, vermouth, and stock, and cook 5 minutes more over medium heat, or until the sauce reduces slightly.
• Pour the vegetable mixture into an ovenproof casserole. Place the fish on top of the bed of vegetables and roast the fish for 8 to 10 minutes. Gently remove the fish from the casserole, stir in the tarragon and butter and spoon the vegetable sauce around the fish.
• Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional chopped tarragon.

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.

Steps:

• Stew the salsify in the cream until tender and the cream has reduced. Add the cheese, herbs and seasonings. Cook for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and spread out on a pan to cool.
• Saute the carrots and the zucchini slices separately until just tender, adding a little broth or water to moisten the saute. Season lightly to taste. Remove from heat and spread out on a pan to cool.
• Once ingredients are cooled, combine them and keep refrigerated if making more than a couple hours.
• For the Port Wine Sauce: Combine all the ingredients and reduce to a light syrup consistency, then strain through a chino.
• For the Vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients and reduce to a light syrup consistency. Sea Bass: 4 pieces chilean sea bass Pancetta slices, for wrapping the bass 2 ounces olive oil 1 cup haricots verts, blanched 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced 1 tablespoon shallots, diced 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon black truffles, diced 2 cups salsify-zucchini compote 2 tablespoons heavy cream 3 ounces port wine vinaigrette 1 teaspoon black truffle oil Chervil sprig for garnish
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Reheat the port wine vinaigrette and set aside.
• Wrap the bass with pancetta. Heat a saute pan over medium high heat and saute the sea bass portions in about 2 ounces of olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain the excess oil and finish cooking in the oven until cooked nearly through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the green beans and mushrooms with the shallots, thyme and black truffles moistening the saute with a small amount of broth to finish. Reheat the Salsify-Zucchini Compote while doing the beans.
• Place equal amounts of the compote on four plates, then place equal amounts of green bean and mushroom saute next to the compote. Place a piece of the sea bass directly on top of the vegetables, and spoon a small amount of the sauce around the plate. Add droplets of black truffle oil to the sauce around the plate. Garnish with chervil sprig. Serve.

Steps:

• Season sea bass on each side with salt and pepper.
• Place fillets in the center of the skillet, skin side down and cook until the skin starts to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side (moderate heat).
• Flip over, baste with butter and thyme. Transfer sea bass to a baking sheet to finish in 500 degree oven for 3-4 minutes.
