Steps:
- Wash the fish fillets and evenly sprinkle half of the julienned ginger and the chopped spring onion at the base of the baking pan.
- Place the fish fillets on the bed of ginger and spring onion.
- Sprinkle the other half of the julienned ginger and chopped spring onion on top of the fish fillets.
- Sprinkle rock salt.
- Bake uncovered at 200 degrees celsius for 20 mins (do not preheat the oven).
- Boil the baby potatoes in salt water.
- Halve the boiled baby potatoes. Do not peel the skin.
- Soak the baby potatoes in the rice wine for half an hour.
- Once marinated in the rice wine, line the baby potatoes in the baking pan (skin side down) and pour whatever is left of the marinade onto the potatoes.
- Sprinkle rock salt and bake at 200 degrees celsius for 20 mins (do not preheat oven).
- I baked the fish fillets and the baby potatoes together in the same pan.
- Roast the cumin seeds until very light brown. The aroma of the cumin seeds will tell you when it is done.
- Cumin Rice.
- Add 2 cups of water to 1 cup of Thai Rice. (I cook the rice in a stone pot.).
- Add the oil, salt and the roasted cumin seeds and let the rice cook in the stone pot until it starts bubbling away.
- Turn off the gas (there will be liquid on top of the rice), cover the stone rice pot and the rest of the cooking gets done in the heat that is retained by the stone pot.

SAKE KASU-MARINATED SEA BASS WITH COCONUT GREEN CURRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Make marinade:
- Peel and chop gingerroot. In a blender combine gingerroot with remaining marinade ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Arrange sea bass in a 2-inch-deep dish just large enough to hold fish in one layer and pour marinade over it, turning fish to coat well. Marinate fish, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. and wrap handle of a 12-inch non-stick skillet with a triple-layer of foil, shiny side out, if handle is not ovenproof. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and put on a plate. Discard excess marinade. In non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear fish on 1 side only until golden brown, about 3 minutes. With tongs turn fish over and transfer skillet to middle of oven. Roast fish until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve sea bass with curry sauce.
CUMIN-DUSTED SEA BASS ON GREEN RICE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Make rice:
- Bring water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan, then add rice, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to taste. Return to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15 to 17 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in herbs just before serving.
- Cook fish while rice is cooking:
- Pat fillets dry and sprinkle with cumin and salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Heat oil in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear fillets until browned on 1 side, about 5 minutes. Turn fillets over and put skillet in oven. Roast fillets in upper third of oven until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Make sauce while rice is standing:
- Whisk together broth, juice, molasses, and cornstarch in a small skillet and simmer, whisking, until slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Halve each fillet crosswise and serve over rice. Spoon sauce over and around fish.
