BRAISED BLACK SEA BASS WITH SPRING VEGETABLES AND LEMON-BLACK OLIVE BOUILLON

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes, peel and cut in wedges. Cut off both ends of zucchini and yellow squash, cut lengthwise in 4 equal parts. Remove most of the seeds by cutting the angle.

Season with salt and pepper and braise for 5 minutes, covered. Add cherry tomatoes. Keep very al dente.
• Brush a braising pan with butter. Place in it everything except half of the lemon juice and garnishes. Season the fish on both sides and add the fumet. Place the braising pan on a low flame until the liquid slightly simmers. Then place in a preheated 300-degree oven for 7 minutes. When cooked, place the fish with most of the vegetables into bowl, return the braising pan to the flame and finish with black olives lemon olive oil and lemon juice if necessary. Finish the dish by pouring the broth on the fish and garnish with chopped chives and chervil, serve immediately.

SEA BASS WITH BRAISED COURGETTES & HARISSA MAYO

Steps:

• Stir the mayonnaise and harissa together and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the courgettes, heat the olive oil in a high-sided, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the fennel seeds, red onion and chilli with a pinch of salt for 5 mins until softened and fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes, garlic and courgette, then season and cook down for a few mins. Pour in the wine, lemon juice and about 200ml water and simmer for 15-20 mins until the tomatoes and courgettes are collapsing. Bubble off any excess water. Stir through the dill and keep warm while you cook the sea bass. (Take your fish out of the fridge 20 mins before you cook it to bring it up to room temperature.)
• Heat the olive oil with the thyme in a non-stick frying pan over a low-to-medium heat. Place the sea bass fillets skin-side down in the pan. Season the flesh-side of the fillets with salt and pepper. Cook gently for about 8 mins until the skin is crisp (it might spit during this time, so best to wear an apron), then add a small amount of lemon juice and baste the flesh of the fish in the warm oil and lemon for about 4 mins, or until opaque and cooked through.
• Divide the vegetables between plates and top with the bass. Serve with the harissa mayo and lemon wedges.

BRAISED SEA BASS WITH VEAL GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over high heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add the sea bass and sear quickly on both sides until nicely browned. Remove to a plate. Drain off all but about 2 teaspoons of the fat in the pan, set it over medium heat and add the garlic, ginger and jalapeno. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Whisk together the gin, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish stock, veal glaze and bell pepper and pour into the pan. Bring to a simmer and add the fish. Cover, adjust heat so that the mixture just simmers and cook, turning once, until the fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving plate and pour the sauce from the pan over it. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
