Best Baked Sea Bass With Roasted Garlic Chili And Rosemary Recipes

BAKED SEABASS WITH HOMEMADE GARLIC BUTTER AND HERB BREAD CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the bread in a food processor to get slightly coarse bread crumbs.
• Coat a casserole dish just large enough to hold the fillets with 1 tablespoon butter. Place the fillets in the dish and season with salt, pepper, lemon zest and juice, and thyme leaves.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet with the smashed garlic. As soon as the butter starts to bubble, turn off the heat and let the garlic infuse the warm butter.
• Remove the garlic chunks from the butter. Add the bread crumbs and lightly toss until all the butter has been absorbed. Turn the heat off, stir in the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Spread a layer of bread crumb mixture over the top of each fillet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until bread crumbs are golden brown and fish is cooked through.

SIMPLE OVEN-BAKED SEA BASS

• (Optional) Pour wine over fish.
• Bake fish, uncovered, for 15 minutes; then sprinkle with parsley or Italian seasoning and continue to bake for 5 more minutes (or until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily).
• Drizzle remaining pan juices over fish and garnish with lemon wedges.
• Enjoy!

BAKED SEA BASS WITH ROASTED GARLIC, CHILI, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Set the oven to 400°F Place the garlic cloves in a roasting pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper and roast for 10 minutes or so until soft and creamy inside.
• Put a piece of parchment paper large enough to wrap the fish in on top of a piece of foil cut to the same size, making sure that the shiny side is facing downwards.
• Lay the bass on top and tuck the garlic in the stomach cavity and around the fish.
• Scatter the crumbled chilies over the top; lay the rosemary on the fish and season with a sprinkling of salt.
• Fold the foil up and crimp at the edges to form a parcel. Pour in the wine and remaining olive oil and seal the rest of the foil so that the fish is completely enclosed - it should look like a large pastie!
• Bake for 25 minutes then remove from the oven. To serve, open the parcel in front of your guest, squeeze over the lemon and dive in!

BAKED CHILEAN SEA BASS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
• Arrange sea bass fillets in a stoneware baking dish, with space between them. Use paper towels to pat them dry.
• Brush the fish fillets on both sides with the olive oil mixture. Season both sides with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the sea bass internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F, or the fish flakes easily with a fork. (For best results, use an instant-read thermometer -- it's done when it reaches 135 to 140 degrees F.)
• Meanwhile, in a very small saucepan (about 5 inches in diameter) over medium-high heat, combine the shallot, wine, & vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until the volume is reduced to about 1/4 of the original amount (approximately 2 tablespoons should be left).
• Stir in the heavy cream and lemon zest.
• Reduce heat to low. Add 2-3 cubes of very cold butter, stirring constantly until it melts. Continue to add butter 2-3 cubes at a time, stirring and letting it melt after each addition. Keep heat very low and avoid boiling, or the sauce will separate.
• Season with sea salt to taste.
• Serve sauce over baked sea bass immediately, or keep warm in a thermos or in the hot pan on the stove (with heat turned off) for up to 30-60 minutes. The sauce can split if it overheats or cools too much, so keep it warm but not hot.

ROSEMARY AND LIME ROASTED SEA BASS WITH MEDITERRANEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the Mediterranean Salsa: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend before serving or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the fish well under cold running water (to make sure the cavity is clean of any entrails) and pat it dry. With a sharp knife, make 4 deep diagonal incisions down to the bone on each side of the fish. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Lay the onion rings, lime rounds, and rosemary sprigs in the cavity. Close the fish. Insert the garlic slivers into the incisions.
• Tie the fish together in 3 or 4 places with butcher's twine to close the cavity. Place the fish on a bed of rosemary branches (or a rack) set in a large roasting pan. Rub the fish with the olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the fish until completely cooked through, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer the fish to a large platter and remove the twine, top with the Mediterranean Salsa. You can also serve this fish on a bed of spinach or arugula leaves with a side of warm orzo tossed with a little chopped fresh parsley and olive oil.

BAKED SEA BASS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 8-inch nonstick skillet, cook leeks, wine, butter, thyme, salt and pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft.
• Place fish in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish; spoon leek mixture over top of fish.
• Cover with foil. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Sprinkle parsley over top of fish.

ROASTED CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH CHIVE OIL

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.
