SWEET AND SOUR PAN-FRIED SEA BASS - CHEF CATHY WHIMS

Steps:

• 1. Place cranberries and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once vinegar comes to a boil, remove from heat and set aside. 2. Pat fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge fillets through flour and shake off excess. Heat ½ cup oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry fillets until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and fry reverse side until golden, about 3 minutes more. Transfer fish to a plate and discard frying oil. 3. Wipe frying pan and set over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Once hot, add shallots and sauté until translucent but not browned, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in pepper flakes, cranberry mixture, pine nuts and orange juice, and cook until reduced by a third, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, season with salt and whisk in remaining oil and parsley. To serve, spoon sauce over fish.

PAN SEARED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Cut SEA BASS filet down the center to create 2 pieces (1/2 lb. each). Allow to rest 20 minutes at room temp to remove chill.
• Heat OLIVE OIL in skillet over medium-high until it reaches the smoke point.
• Place sea bass (skin side down) in the hot skillet. Sprinkle SALT and PEPPER over the filet.
• If you want crispy skin, press the filet down firmly with a spatula until it becomes visibly crispy. Turn the filet over and allow the non-skin side to sear until the filet is opaque throughout, reducing heat a notch or two as needed.
• Transfer the filet to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
• Serve sea bass warm with your favorite salad and side dish. Suggested: serve over salad greens topped with Chimichurri Sauce (see recipe in footnotes).

PAN-FRIED SEA BASS

Steps:

• Start by making the cauliflower mash http://www.mynutricounter.com/recipe-pan-fried-sea-bass/.
• Place the tomatoes in a pan of boiling water and leave for 1 minute (until the skin starts to peel off), then remove the skins. Chop the tomatoes in half and de-seed, then chop into small chunks. Also take the skin and chop this into small strips too.
• Wilt the kale in a frying pan for 1-2 mins with the linseed (flaxseed).
• Gently fry the sea bass fillets for approximately 2 mins on each side (until cooked and turning golden), then place on top of the kale.
• Mix together the lemon juice, coconut oil, shredded basil and chopped tomatoes/tomato skins, then place on top of the sea bass filets.
• Plate up and serve with the cauliflower mash!
