Pan Roasted White Bass (Sand Bass) With Wine Butter Sauce image

When my husband came home from a deep sea fishing adventure, I was hard pressed to find a recipe that was not battered and fried. This one was delicious, from www.stephencooks.com. I made a few adjustments, based on access; had 4 small filets so adjusted cooking time and used dried oregano instead of fresh; and cut the sauce recipe in half.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 filets whole firm-fleshed fish, about 1 lb each* (scaled and gutted)
6 large garlic cloves, peeled, cut in thirds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
lemon slice (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Wash fish and pat dry.
  • Spread flour on a plate.
  • Salt the fish and then dredge in flour, coating entirely. Allow to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil over high heat in a sauté pan large enough to hold both fish without crowding.
  • When the oil is very hot but not yet smoking, add garlic and toss the garlic around for a minute.
  • Place fish in the pan and brown 1-1/2 minutes on each side.
  • Lower heat to medium, cover and roast for about 10 minutes, turning the fish once.
  • Remove to a warmed side plate.
  • (Note that the 10 minute cooking time is for fish about 1" thick at its thickest part. For thinner or thicker fish adjust the time accordingly.)
  • Add wine, raise heat to high and quickly reduce to a syrupy consistency, scraping all around the pan to loosen browned bits clinging to the pot.
  • Add the butter and swirl to melt and blend.
  • Correct seasoning and pour sauce over fish.
  • Garnish with additional oregano and lemon slices.
