Sea Bass Fillets With Parsley Sauce Recipes

BAKED SEA BASS WITH LEMON CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix the oil with the lemon zest and juice, capers, mustard, some seasoning and 1 tbsp water. Don't add the parsley yet (unless serving straight away) as the acid in the lemon will fade the colour if they are left together for too long.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and put the fish, skin-side up, on top. Brush the skin with oil and sprinkle with some flaky salt. Bake for 7 mins or until the flesh flakes when tested with a knife. Arrange the fish on warm serving plates, spoon over the dressing and scatter with extra parsley leaves, if you like.

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Gather the sauce ingredients.
• Combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Cook until the butter has melted. Set aside.
• Gather the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Combine the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the fish.
• Right before placing the fish on the grill, make sure to clean and oil the grill grates to keep the fish from sticking during the cooking process. This can be achieved by using a large pair of tongs, folded paper towels, and a high smoke point oil (canola oil, peanut oil, or sunflower oil; olive oil will work in a pinch). Dip the paper towel into the oil and run it across the grates at least 3 times to create a nonstick surface.
• Place the fish on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the fish and baste it with the butter sauce. Cook for about 5 to 7 more minutes.
• Once the fish reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 F, remove it from the heat, and drizzle it with olive oil.

PAN-FRIED SEABASS WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER SAUCE AND SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Fry sea bass, turning once halfway through cooking time. Cook until opaque and moist on the inside, 4 to 8 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter. When it starts sizzling add the garlic and let it sizzle for a minute or two, allowing the garlic to infuse the butter. Lower the heat to the minimum setting, add the lemon juice, stir and let it heat through. Season to taste. Drizzle over the fish fillets when it is served.

PAN-FRIED SEA BASS WITH WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the flour to a small tray, season with salt and pepper and mix. Coat the sea bass on both sides with flour mixture.
• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoon butter in a skillet over low heat, also adding the olive oil in the process. Fry the sea bass on both sides until golden brown. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb some of the oil.
• Use the same olive oil and melted butter for preparing the sauce. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute or so. Add the white wine, lemon juice, and fresh parsley, season with salt and pepper, and cook and stir for 1 minute more. Coat the remaining butter with flour and add it to the skillet. Cook and stir until it melts or for 1 minute.
• Serve the fish drizzled with sauce and garnished with thyme sprigs and lemon wedges.

SAUTEED BLACK SEA BASS WITH CAPERS AND HERB-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry; slash skin side of each crosswise in 2-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour to evenly coat, shaking off excess.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers and wisps of smoke rise from skillet, add fish in a single layer, skin-sides down. Reduce heat to medium; cook, undisturbed,until skin is crisp and flesh is opaque halfway up sides and almost cooked through, 5 to 7minutes, depending on thickness.
• Flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, skin-sides up. Add vermouth to skillet; boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add capers and butter; cook until butter simmers and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs. Return fish to skillet, skin-side up; spoon butter sauce over top. Serve immediately.
