Best Sesame Sea Fish With Pineapple Salsa Recipes

SOY SEARED SEA BASS WITH 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.

GRILLED FISH ON PINEAPPLE PLANKS WITH SPICY PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut the top from the pineapple and discard. Cut the sides off to make 4 flat planks. Finely dice the pineapple flesh (discard the core) and put it in a medium bowl.
• Finely grate the ginger and add half to the bowl with the pineapple; reserve the rest. Add the cilantro, oil, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice and onion to the diced pineapple. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then toss well and refrigerate while you make the fish.
• Stir the soy sauce and honey together with the remaining ginger in a small bowl. Brush the fish with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush the tops (the flesh side) of the pineapple planks with some of the soy sauce mixture and place the fish fillets on top of the planks. Brush the remaining soy sauce mixture on the tops of the fillets, folding the thinner part of the fillets under if needed to fit on the plank.
• Place the pineapple planks on the grill, cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the fish on the planks topped with some of the salsa. Serve the remaining salsa on the side or reserve to serve with chips.

CITRUS CHILEAN SEA BASS W/ PINEAPPLE MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Mix all salsa ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill to high heat. Brush hot grill rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Reserve half for grilling process. Place sea bass fillets in glass baking dish or container. Pour marinade over top. Let set for 7-10 min turning once.
• Place fillets about 1/2 apart on grill pouring their marinade juices over top of them. Grill for 7 minutes then turn over, pour reserved marinade over top of them and continue grilling for an additional 7 minutes or until easily flaked with a fork.
• Transfer to serving plate, top with salsa, and enjoy!
• I also like to serve mine with herb rice :).
