Best Soy Seared Sea Bass With Pineapple Salsa Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN PAN SEARED SEA BASS RECIPE WITH GARLIC BELL PEPPER MEDLEY

Steps:

• Take the fish out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking. Sprinkle with salt on both sides and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the spices to make the spice mixture. Set aside for now.
• In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering but not smoking.
• Add the bell peppers, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and 1 tsp of the spice mixture you prepared earlier. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until the peppers have softened. Turn the heat to lowest, and stir in the chopped olives. Leave on low heat as you prepare the fish.
• Pat fish dry and season with the remaining spice mixture on both sides as well.
• In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Add the fish pieces (you can reduce heat to medium, if needed). Push down on the middle (thickest part) for 30 seconds or so. Cook fish on one side, undisturbed, until nicely browned, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn fish over and cook on other side for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned as well. (Important Note- look for browned edges before you turn it over. If parts of the fish are stuck, you should be able to carefully scrape it with the spatula and turn. But, if the fish is entirely stuck, it's not ready to be turned over. Leave it for a little bit. It should release when ready.)
• Remove fish from heat, immediately drizzle lemon juice. Serve hot with the bell pepper medley spooned on top. Add a side of cooked pearl couscous or rice, if you like. Or add a gluten-free side of your choice. Enjoy!

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.

CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH SPICY FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Wearing rubber gloves, remove jalapeno seeds and membrane and discard. Prepare all the above ingredients, combine and refrigerate.
• For the Spicy Paste: Combine the above ingredients to form a spicy paste.
• For the Sea Bass: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season fish with salt and pepper and coat with flour. Brush a heavy coating of the spice paste on the skin of the fish. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a very hot oven-safe skillet and sear the fish skin side down. When the skin is crispy, place the fish in the oven for approximately 10 to 12 minutes until done. Serve with spicy fruit salsa.

CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH A PINEAPPLE-DIJON PAN SAUCE RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the fish dry, with paper towels and lightly season with Old Bay Seasoning. (NOTE: If you can't find Old Bay Seasoning, lightly season with salt & pepper and a little paprika.) In an oven-proof skillet, add enough oil to lightly coat the skillet. Heat on medium-high until the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke. Place the seasoned fish into the skillet and allow to sear, until lightly brown-- about 4 to 5 minutes. Test that the fish is ready to be turned, when a skillet easily loosens the fish. Turn the fish over, then place the skillet into the preheated oven. Roast for about 7 to 9 minutes (internal temperature should be about 140°F). Remove the fish to a plate, and tightly cover with foil. SAUCE: Drain any excess oil and return the skillet to the stove, on medium-high. Add the pineapple juice, and deglaze the pan by scraping any browned bits. Add the white wine and chicken stock and allow the liquid to reduce to about half-- about 5 minutes, on medium-high. Remove the skillet from heat, and add the unsalted butter. Whisk until melted and smooth.
