A CookTale
Improvising seasonings to add to fish results in some fascinating results.
This lovely piece of Sea Bass was marinated in Salt, Pepper, Lemon Rind, sweet Paprika and emulsified with EVOO. What a great result, savory, and flavorful. And by watching the cooking time it came out of the oven, as flakey as it should be.
INGREDIENTS
12 oz of Black Sea Bass ( or other types of sea bass)
Sea Salt & freshly ground Black Pepper
1 TB of grated Lemon Rind
1 tsp of sweet Spanish Paprika (not smoked)
1 TB of EVOO (for marinade)
1 TB of EVOO & 1 TB of Butter (for cooking)
A slice of Lemon
METHOD
1. Season the Sea Bass with Sea Salt, freshly ground Black Pepper, the grated Lemon Rind, Spanish Paprika & emulsify with EVOO. Coat the fish & allow it to marinate until cooking time.
2. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
3. Heat the saute pan, add the 1 TB of EVOO & Butter. Cook skin side down, continuously spooning the pan juices over the fish, for about 5 minutes. Move the pan to the heated oven for 10 minutes, remove. The fish should be flakey and well colored.
4. Spoon the pan juices over & around the fish, remove from the pan & place on the bed of sauteed Spinach.
