Sauteed Sea Bass Fillet With Cucumber Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN PAN SEARED SEA BASS RECIPE WITH GARLIC BELL PEPPER MEDLEY

Steps:

• Take the fish out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking. Sprinkle with salt on both sides and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the spices to make the spice mixture. Set aside for now.
• In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering but not smoking.
• Add the bell peppers, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and 1 tsp of the spice mixture you prepared earlier. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until the peppers have softened. Turn the heat to lowest, and stir in the chopped olives. Leave on low heat as you prepare the fish.
• Pat fish dry and season with the remaining spice mixture on both sides as well.
• In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Add the fish pieces (you can reduce heat to medium, if needed). Push down on the middle (thickest part) for 30 seconds or so. Cook fish on one side, undisturbed, until nicely browned, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn fish over and cook on other side for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned as well. (Important Note- look for browned edges before you turn it over. If parts of the fish are stuck, you should be able to carefully scrape it with the spatula and turn. But, if the fish is entirely stuck, it's not ready to be turned over. Leave it for a little bit. It should release when ready.)
• Remove fish from heat, immediately drizzle lemon juice. Serve hot with the bell pepper medley spooned on top. Add a side of cooked pearl couscous or rice, if you like. Or add a gluten-free side of your choice. Enjoy!

Heat a large skillet (nonstick works well) on high heat. Just as skillet starts to smoke add fish and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook fillets on 1 side until fish releases easily from pan and is golden brown and slightly crispy. Turn fillets and continue to cook until fish is just cooked through, time will depend on thickness of fillets. If you have particularly thick fillets, you may need to reduce heat to very low and cover pan to finish cooking. Serve fish immediately with Triple Mustard Vinaigrette, and Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts.

Add cipollini and cook on high heat, tossing frequently, until cipollini are nicely browned and just starting to get tender. Add Brussels sprouts, and cook, tossing frequently, until they are well browned on the cut sides and just starting to turn bright green. Add enough chicken stock to just cover Brussels sprouts and add bay leaf. Bring stock to a simmer and cook until vegetables are just tender and liquid has reduced nearly all the way. Add more stock to pan if liquid reduces before vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in thyme. Serve Brussels sprouts in their sauce.
