Sea Bass With Artichoke Pesto Recipes

SEA BASS IN ARTICHOKE STEW, AND TEQUILA SERVED WITH RICOTTA TORTITA

Steps:

• Mix the miso paste with the water and add the honey and lime juice. Marinate the fish in the mixture for 12 hours, in the refrigerator.
• About an hour before cooking the fish, make the tortitas. In a large mixing bowl, and combine the potato, ricotta, softened butter, egg yolks, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the flour, 1 spoonful at a time, while mixing all of the ingredients until a dough is formed. Roll the dough out flat, and cut out circles using a 4-inch round cookie cutter. When you are ready to saute, heat a skillet and saute the circles some clarified butter until golden brown.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large pan heat the olive oil and saute the artichoke, carrots, shallots, bay leaves, thyme, and the pepperleaf. When tender, flambe with the tequila. Then add the white wine and cover with water. Simmer slowly until vegetables are almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Add the fish into the pot on top of the artichokes, cover, and cook for 10 minutes in the oven. Once the fish has been cooked, drain the juice from the pan, into a small saucepan, and reduce by half. Keep the fish and vegetables warm. Add the cream to the reduced sauce, and reduce again until the mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon. Add the butter at the end.
• To serve, place 1/4 of the pepperleaf chiffonade on the bottom of a plate. Add the artichoke stew in the center of a platter, add the fish on top, place a tortita on the side, and add the sauce around the plate. Garnish with the corn leaves, fried tomato skins, and miniature corn.

SEA BASS WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper and coat with a little pesto.
• Bake approximately 14 minutes until done.
• Meanwhile, saute squash and zuccini.
• Toss with 1 - 2 tbsp pesto.
• Serve fish over a few spoonfuls of pesto with rice on one side and veggies on the other.

SEA BASS WITH ARTICHOKES AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Barbecue fish just until done (be careful not to overcook).
• While the fish is cooking, make the sauce. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and saute garlic and leeks until soft, a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add artichokes, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.
• Reduce by about 50 per cent. There shouldn't be much vinegar left in the pan, and it should be starting to get syrupy. Keep warm on low until fish is ready.
• Plate fish with sauce and enjoy!

SEA BASS WITH ARTICHOKES, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F. Drain marinade from artichokes into 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Add fish; turn to coat with marinade. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Scatter artichokes, tomatoes, zucchini, basil and garlic around fish. Pour clam juice over. Bake until fish is just opaque in center, about 20 minutes.

SEA BASS & ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the couscous following pack instructions, then mix with the artichokes. Whisk the mustard with the oil from the artichoke pack, along with ½ tbsp olive oil, then add it to the couscous. Toss the herbs into the salad, along with the lemon zest and juice, some seasoning and the watercress.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the sea bass skin, then place it, skin-side down, in the oil. Use the back of a fish slice to hold the fish down, as it will start to curl up a bit. Once the flesh is nearly all opaque, around 3 mins, flip over and cook for 1 min more. Divide the salad between two plates and place the fish on top.
