Striped Sea Bass With Blood Oranges And Olives Recipes

STRIPED SEA BASS WITH BLOOD ORANGES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Squeeze 3 to 4 oranges to make 1 cup juice; set aside. Remove and discard the peel and pith of the remaining oranges. Using a sharp knife, remove the segments, and set aside in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish, skin side up; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook until fish is opaque and completely cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving dish; keep warm.
• While fish is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice, and bring to a simmer. Cook until juice has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk in the remaining 5 tablespoons cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir in orange segments and olives. Pour sauce over the fish, and serve immediately.

STRIPED BASS OR MAHI MAHI WITH FENNEL, LEEKS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Lay the fish fillets in a baking dish or on a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and refrigerate while you make the sauce.
• In a large lidded sauté pan that will accommodate all of the fish in one layer (see note below), heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the leeks. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the garlic and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute, and add the fennel. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook, stirring often, until the fennel is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover the pan, add the tomatoes, salt to taste, and the pepper and cook uncovered, stirring often, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is thick and fragrant. Stir in the dill and 1 tablespoon of the parsley.
• Lay the fish over the fennel mixture. (Note: If the pan isn't big enough, divide the mixture between two pans.) Cover and place over medium heat. Simmer 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley and serve the sauce and fish together, with rice or potatoes.
