Striped Sea Bass With Blood Oranges And Olives Food

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 WITH ARTICHOKES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Season the fish with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use. Remove the zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler (reserve the lemon). Combine the lemon zest, parsley, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. With the motor running, gradually add the bread and pulse several times to make coarse crumbs. Spread the breadcrumbs evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the artichokes, olives and tomatoes around the edge and bake until the exposed breadcrumbs in the middle are toasted, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Scoop out the toasted breadcrumbs and set aside. Add the fish to the baking dish and top with the toasted breadcrumbs. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cut the reserved lemon into wedges and squeeze on top.

GRILLED STRIPED BASS WITH ORANGES AND WATERCRESS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Slice off the top and bottom of 2 oranges; stand each up on a cut end. Slice off the peel and white pith with a knife, following the curve of the fruit. Turn each on its side and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, then quarter the rounds. Halve the remaining orange and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Stir in the olive oil, sliced oranges, jalapeno, olives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and transfer skin-side down to the grill. Cook, turning once, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to a plate. Grill the bread, turning once, until marked, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Divide the watercress among 4 plates. Top with the fish and any collected juices from the plate. Spoon the orange mixture over the fish. Rub both sides of the bread with the garlic; serve with the fish.
