Striped Bass On Greens And Potatoes Food

STRIPED BASS WITH POTATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a little oil to brush the bottom of a shallow baking dish that can go to the table and is large enough to hold the fish in one piece. Spread potatoes in dish, overlapping, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Season flesh side of fish with salt and pepper. Place fish skin side up on the potatoes, sprinkle on remaining oil, scatter olives around and place bay leaves on top. Cover with parchment paper and bake 20 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through at the thickest part (a sharp knife will penetrate easily). Garnish with lemon and serve.

STRIPED BASS ON GREENS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potato slices in a saucepan, cover with water and boil until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Cut the fillet into six equal portions. Mix the vinegar and mustard together and brush on the flesh side of the fish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the oven is hot, spread a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer with the oil. Put in the oven for five minutes.
• Put the fish, skin side down, in the baking dish and bake for five minutes, just until the skin begins to crisp.
• Remove the fish from the baking dish and spread the garlic, onions, potatoes and greens in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Put the fish on top of the vegetables skin side up. Drizzle the wine around the greens and return the dish to the oven.
