Sea Bass With Tomatoes And Onions Food

SEARED FILLET OF SEABASS WITH TOMATO AND ONION CONFIT AND SHERRY VINEGAR NAGE INFUSED WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the onions and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Mix together in a bowl, then add 1/2 cup sherry vinegar and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Place the shallots into a small saucepan and add the remaining 1/2 cup sherry vinegar. Pick off the tarragon leaves, set aside, and add the stalks to the pan. Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil and allow to reduce by 2/3. Remove pan from heat and start to whisk in the diced butter. Keep the pan warm but do not allow it to get hot as this will cause the butter to separate and will split the sauce. When all the butter has been whisked in, pass the sauce through a sieve into a clean pan and keep warm.
• Remove the onion and cherry tomatoes from the marinade and place in a saucepan. Sweat the mixture over the medium heat until the tomatoes start to break down. Add approximately 1/2 of the remaining marinade and cook slowly over moderate heat for 30 minutes.
• While the tomatoes and onions are cooking, take the sea bass fillets and the scallops and season them with salt and pepper. Sear the sea bass fillets in a very hot non-stick frying pan, skin-side down first. When golden brown, remove from the frying pan, place onto a baking tray and cook in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do exactly the same with the scallops.
• Blanch the baby asparagus and chives separately, in boiling, salted water. Remove from the water and tie the asparagus into bundles of 10 using a blanched chive.
• To assemble, put 1 piece of sea bass on each plate and top with the confit of tomatoes. Place the second piece of sea bass on top and lean the asparagus bundle against the sea bass. Take the tarragon leaves that were set aside and roughly chop them. Add the tarragon to the warm sauce and spoon sauce around plate. Add a scallop to the side of each plate and serve.

BAKED SEA BASS WITH POTATOES, TOMATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Spread half the potatoes in the pan in a single layer, followed by half the tomatoes and half the onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and repeat the layers. Scatter the garlic, thyme and rosemary on top and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, rinse the fish with cold water to remove any blood or traces of viscera. Make three deep, parallel crosswise cuts on each side of each fish. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Uncover the roasting pan and lay the fish on top of the vegetables. Raise the oven temperature to 375. Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily near its backbone, and the potatoes are fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon oil, garnish with more thyme and rosemary sprigs and serve.

Add bass to skillet and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add vermouth and cook 1 minute, to allow alcohol to cook off. Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup of the olives and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until fish is fork-tender.
• Reheat rice with the oregano in a medium saucepan (adding a little water if necessary) or in the microwave. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve bass and sauce over rice.

Tuck a few slices of the garlic and two sprigs of the thyme in the cavity of the fish. If fresh thyme is unavailable, sprinkle in one-half teaspoon of the dried thyme.
• Place the fish in the oven and roast uncovered about 25 minutes, until the flesh can be lifted from the bone with the point of a knife and has turned opaque. Transfer the fish to a serving platter.
