Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Few sprigs thyme or oregano
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 fillets striped bass, skin on (about 6 ounces each)
Coarse salt
Fresh chives, cut into 3/4-inch lengths, for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Combine oil, lemon juice, thyme or oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Add fish to marinade, and turn to coat; cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on grill, skin side down, and season with salt. Grill until skin is lightly browned and starting to crisp. Carefully turn fillets, and cook until well browned and cooked through (center will be opaque), 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with chives and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (1 1/4-pound) whole striped bass or red snapper (head and tail intact), cleaned
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

Preheat oven to 500°F and put a large shallow baking pan in middle of oven.
Cut 3 deep slits (down to bone) crosswise on each side of fish and put fish on a tray. Rub fish inside and out with 2 tablespoons oil. Cut a garlic clove in half and rub all over skin of fish. Thinly slice all garlic and insert into slits and inside fish. Squeeze lemon juice over both sides of fish and season with salt and pepper.
Quickly brush hot baking pan with remaining tablespoon oil and transfer fish to pan (the pan should be hot enough to sizzle). Roast fish in middle of oven until just cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
To serve, remove top fillet from each fish by cutting through skin along top edge of backbone and along belly. Carefully slide a large metal spatula between backbone and fillet and invert onto a platter. Pull out backbone, starting from tail end, and discard. Transfer bottom fillets to platter.

Time 1h45m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coarsely ground white pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
6 6-ounce striped bass fillets (or any firm white fish from the bass or snapper family)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
12 whole shallots, unpeeled
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 cup thinly sliced leeks (white part only)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup lemon vinegar (or white-wine vinegar)
4 shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

Steps:

For the fish, combine the peppers, sugar and rosemary. Use a sharp knife to make crosshatch marks on the skin of each fish fillet. Rub the spice mixture into the skin and marinate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place garlic and shallots in a small baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until soft, about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Peel garlic and shallots and puree in a food processor with the heavy cream. Set aside.
While garlic mixture roasts, make the leeks: Combine the water, sugar and lemon rind in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture turns a golden color. Have an oiled baking sheet ready. Stir the leeks into the caramel and immediately scrape onto the baking sheet. Cool. Separate the leeks and set aside.
To make the vinaigrette, place all ingredients except the chives in a blender and blend until well combined. Stir in chives and set aside. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. When the pan is hot, add the fish, skin side down, and cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fish and cook until the fish is firm to the touch, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Place even portions of the shallot and garlic puree in the center of 6 plates. Place the fish over the puree. Sprinkle with the caramelized leeks. Pour some of the vinaigrette on each plate in a circle around the fish. Serve immediately.
