ROASTED SEA BREAM WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Prepare and clean fish. Wash and pat dry. Remove pectoral and ventral fins.
• Brush fish from all sides with olive oil. You may need about 3 tablespoons oil, but it can be more depending on size of fish. Put fish in a suited oven proofed dish (it should not be too large).
• Chop parsley (set about 1/2 tablespoon aside for topping), thyme and majoran. Pick sage leaves to pieces. Sprinkle herbs over the fish. Add bay leaf, black pepper seeds and cloves.
• Cover and marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. I suggest to marinate for at least 2 hours, so that this can be done in advance. Turn fish once during this time.
• Preheat oven (390 F, 200 C).
• Take fish fish from marinade and remove as much of the herbs as possible. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Turn fish over in flour. It should only be slightly covered with flour.
• In a large skillet heat a little olive oil. Roast fish from both sides on medium to medium high heat until golden brown.
• Put fish and remaining oil in the oven proofed dish with herbs. Add about 1/8 to 1/4 cup wine. The ground of the dish should just be covered. Distribute butter in small pieces over the fish.
• Bake in oven for about 20 minutes. Fish is done when the dorsal fin can easily be removed. During baking sprinkle fish from time to time with sauce.
• Remove fish carefully from dish and place it on a serving plate.
• Remove as much herbs as possible from sauce. Add Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to taste.
• Sprinkle some sauce and remaining parsley over the fish and serve the remaining sauce separetly.
• NOTE: If you like you can increase the amount of herbs in the recipe. The more wine you use the less lemon juice is required.
• NOTE: Use a dry white wine and serve the wine with the fish.

WHITE WINE-POACHED SCALLOP AND HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Bring the wine, a pinch of salt, and the bay leaf, celery, and fennel to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer; cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a medium bowl; discard the bay leaf. Set aside. Add the scallops to the pan; simmer until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scallops to the bowl of vegetables; refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup poaching liquid. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
• Stir the lemon juice into the poaching liquid. Add the oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Slice the scallops in half horizontally; toss with the dressing and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the herbs, celery leaves, and fennel fronds in a small bowl, then divide among 4 serving plates. Top each with scallops and vegetables, dividing evenly. Drizzle with oil and dressing from the bowl. Garnish each salad with a lemon wedge.
