Baked Chilean Sea Bass In Black Bean Sauce Recipes

SEA BASS IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Gently cut 2 X's through the skin of each fillet without cutting the meat, to keep them from curling. Set aside.
• Soak noodles in warm water for 1 minute, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil, or more to taste. The flavor should be noticeable but not overpowering. Set aside.
• Combine the black beans with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. In a wok heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil until smoking. Add the bean sprouts, bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the bean-sauce mixture and stir-fry 1 minute. Add 1 cup chicken broth and stir-fry 1 minute more. Mix the cornstarch or arrowroot with a bit of water until smooth and add to the sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring gently, until the sauce is clear and thickened. If too thick, thin with more chicken stock. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a nonstick 10-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil until almost smoking, add the noodles and flatten into a pancake. Fry gently until crisp, turn over, adding more oil if needed, and brown other side. Place on a platter and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the bass fillets, skin side down, and move the fillets gently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until a sharp knife meets almost no resistance, 1 to 2 minutes, and fish is browned slightly. Do not overcook!
• To serve: Spoon the sauce over the noodles and top with the fillets.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the chives in a food processor. Turn on the processor and add the olive oil through the feed tube in a thin steady stream. Season with salt and pepper. Stop to taste, then adjust, adding more oil, chives, salt or pepper as desired. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and reserve.
• Place the sea bass in a sauté pan or roasting pan just large enough to fit the fillets. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast until the fish is just barely cooked in the center. It will continue to cook once it is removed from the oven. (It should take about 9 minutes per inch of thickness.)
• Transfer the sea bass to serving plates and sprinkle with the chive oil.

STEAMED SEA BASS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash the fish in cold running water. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then slash 3-4 slits into the skin on both sides. Season all over with salt and ground white pepper. Place ginger slices in the slits of the fish and inside the cavity.
• Place the fish on a plate that fits inside your wok. In your wok place a pudding bowl upside down and pour water to come halfway up. Place the wok on the heat and bring the water to a boil.
• Pour the rice wine over the fish, put the plate onto the upside-down bowl and place the lid of the wok on top. Steam on high heat for 8-9 mins, then leave to rest.
• While the fish is cooking, make the black bean sauce. Add the groundnut oil to a hot wok or frying pan. When it starts to smoke, add the garlic, ginger and beans (or use 100g ready-made black bean sauce) and stir-fry for a few secs. Add the rice wine, sesame oil and light soy sauce, then bring to the bubble.
• Carefully remove the fish (you can keep it on the plate that you cooked it on). Garnish with the spring onions and coriander, then drizzle over the black bean sauce and serve with rice.
