Sea Bass With Cranberry Pineapple Pepper Relish Recipes

BAKED CHEESE WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE-PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
• Lightly brush the pineapple with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add to the grill pan. Toss the jalapeños, poblanos and bell peppers with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and add to the grill pan. Grill the pineapple and peppers until slightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to cutting board. Chop into small dice and add to a bowl. Add the cilantro, agave and lime zest and juice. Toss to combine.
• Place the cream cheese in a small oven-to-table baking dish and top with 1 mounded cup of the relish (reserve remaining relish for another use). Bake until the cheese is soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with crackers.

CITRUS CHILEAN SEA BASS W/ PINEAPPLE MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Mix all salsa ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill to high heat. Brush hot grill rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Reserve half for grilling process. Place sea bass fillets in glass baking dish or container. Pour marinade over top. Let set for 7-10 min turning once.
• Place fillets about 1/2 apart on grill pouring their marinade juices over top of them. Grill for 7 minutes then turn over, pour reserved marinade over top of them and continue grilling for an additional 7 minutes or until easily flaked with a fork.
• Transfer to serving plate, top with salsa, and enjoy!
• I also like to serve mine with herb rice :).

SOY SEARED SEA BASS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• For the fish, mix soy, teriyaki & brown sugar thoroughly. Place portions of sea bass in mixture and make sure fish is either completely covered, or turn frequently. Marinate up to 2 hours; no less than a half hour.
• For the salsa, prep all ingredients and toss together until fully mixed. Set aside while fish is being cooked.
• After marinating fish, in a large saute pan, heat about 1/8" oil over high heat. (Make sure oil coats the entire bottom--this gets a bit sticky without the proper coating.).
• Once oil "pops," cook sea bass until soy is well caramelized on fish, turning a dark brown and releasing from the pan, then flip over and continue until fish is done, flaking easily when pierced with a fork.
• (I will not tell you how long, because it really, REALLY depends on the thickness of the fish pieces. Just watch it carefully!).
• Hold fish on a cooling rack in a warm (170 -200 degree) oven until ready to serve, best when done immediately.
• Serve with salsa and a few avocado wedges if you want to get fancy.
