Asian Sea Bass Marinade Recipes

12 MINUTE STICKY ASIAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200c/400f
• Mix the oil, chilli, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and lime in a small bowl.
• Place the sea bass fillets, skin-side down, on a baking tray. Sprinkle on the cornflour and rub it into the fish gently.
• Spoon on the honey-soy sauce mix (it will pour off a little, but that's fine). Sprinkle on the sugar and place in the oven to cook for 8 minutes. Half-way through cooking, open the oven and baste the fish with the sauce in the tray (it will be stickier now it's been in the oven).
• Once the fish is cooked, take out of the oven and baste again with sauce, then sprinkle the top with coriander (cilantro), spring onion (scallion) strips and slices of chilli.
• Serve with lime slices and some boiled rice or salad.

PAN SEARED CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH ASIAN MARINADE

Steps:

• Prep: Prep the sea bass by patting it dry with a paper towel. Flip it skin side up and score the skin by making shallow cuts with a knife.
• Marinate: Add all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Add the sea bass and massage the marinade into the fish. Let it marinade on the counter for 15 minutes. See Note 1.
• Heat pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium to medium low heat and add a bit of vegetable oil to the pan. See Note 2. Once the pan is heated, scrape off any excess marinade and place the fillets skin side down. Leave it alone until it starts sizzling and rendering out fat. Leave the pan uncovered. Lightly press down with the flat side of your spatula for a few seconds. Let the skin continue cooking until very crispy. Depending on thickness, times will vary. Mine took 4 to 5 minutes. Check halfway through and lower the heat if necessary to avoid burning the skin.
• Flip: Flip the fish and cook it skin side up until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes apart. Do not cover the pan with a lid as the steam will soften up the skin. See Note 3.
• Serve: Plate the sea bass crispy skin side up and serve immediately with lemon wedges and herbs.

P F CHANG'S OOLONG MARINATED SEA BASS

Steps:

• Combine the first six ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool uncovered, then strain out the ginger, garlic, and tea.
• Put your sea bass fillets in a storage bag or a covered container with 2 cups of the marinade. Reserve the remaining sauce. Let the fish have a nice soak in the marinade for 5 to 7 hours in the fridge. If the sauce doesn't completely cover the fish, be sure to turn the fillets a couple hours in so that all sides get marinated.
• When you are ready to prepare the fish, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the fillets on a baking sheet. Bake the fish for 22 minutes or until the edges of the fillets are starting to turn brown.
• Crank the oven up to a high broil and broil fish for 2 to 3 minutes or until you get some dark patches around the edge of the fillets. Just don't let them burn.
• As your fish is baking, first start to reheat the reserved sauce on low then heat up a wok or large skillet with one tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the spinach, garlic and baby sweet corn, and a dash of salt and pepper to the pan. Saute the veggies just until the spinach is wilted, then arrange the spinach and corn on each of the four plates.
• When the sea bass is done broiling, use a spatula to carefully lay the fillets over the spinach and baby corn on each plate. Split the remaining sauce and pour it over each of the fillets before serving.

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Prop the oven door to remain slightly ajar.
• Bake the sea bass under the broiler until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.
