SAUTEED CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH POTATO-PARSNIP BRANDADE WITH PIQUILLO PEPPER SAFFRON SAUCE

Steps:

• Brush oil on both sides of fish and season with salt and pepper. Heat saute pan over medium high heat. Place the fish skin-side down and saute until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place a large spoonful of brandade onto a warmed dinner plate. Balance one Sauteed sea bass fillet on one side of the brandade. Drizzle the whole plate with the Piquillo Pepper Saffron Sauce.
• Place garlic and 1/4 cup oil in a small saucepan and slowly heat over medium heat until the garlic turns a light golden brown. Place the garlic and a few tablespoons of the oil in a food processor with the salt cod and process until smooth. Pass the potatoes and parsnips through a food mill into a large bowl. Add the salt cod puree, milk and remaining olive oil and stir until combined. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
• Place shallots, wine, vinegar and saffron in a medium non-reactive pot and cook until the liquid is reduced to 1 tablespoon. Slowly begin whisking in the butter until the sauce emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and fold in the piquillo peppers.

WHOLE SEA BASS WITH CHARRED SERRANO-BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place chiles, onion, garlic, mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified. Pour into a bowl and stir in the chopped basil.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the fish with the oil and season each with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper, including the cavity. Stuff the cavity of each fish with some of the basil. Grill each fish until slightly charred on 1 side, about 4 to 5 minutes. Using a heavy duty spatula, carefully turn the fish over, close the cover and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the grill and immediately drizzle each fish with 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette.

Stop to taste, then adjust, adding more oil, chives, salt or pepper as desired. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and reserve.
• Place the sea bass in a sauté pan or roasting pan just large enough to fit the fillets. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast until the fish is just barely cooked in the center. It will continue to cook once it is removed from the oven. (It should take about 9 minutes per inch of thickness.)

CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH ROASTED YELLOW PEPPER GRITS AND ROASTED POBLANO SAUCE

Place a fillet on top of each and drizzle with the Poblano Sauce.

Place the peppers in a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds from the peppers. Place 2 of the peppers in a food processor and process until smooth. Cut the remaining pepper into fine dice and set aside.

GRILLED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Remove any large bones from the Chilean sea bass, and slice into 4 fillets (about 6 ounces each - see Note #2). In a large Ziploc freezer bag (or medium glass bowl), add olive oil, sliced garlic, and chopped thyme leaves, and mix to combine (see Note #1). Place the fish in the Ziploc freezer bag (or mixing bowl), and seal the bag well. Smoosh the marinade around to coat each piece (or use tongs to turn the fish over in the marinade, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap). Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Remove the fish from the fridge about 10 minutes before you are ready to grill, and transfer the fish to a plate (discard the marinade). Brush off excess bits of garlic (see Note #3), then season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for a total of 5-10 minutes before grilling.
• Clean and prepare the grill on medium heat (to medium-high based on your grill), then place each fillet over indirect heat, and grill with the lid closed for about 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness - See Note #4). Remove fish to a clean plate, and loosely cover with foil (about 5 - 10 minutes) while you plate your other side dishes. Serve on its own with a sprig of fresh thyme, and with our Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (or your sauce of your choice).
