I created this one myself – Didn’t even start with a mixture of other recipes…

This is a 2 part recipe, one the fish and two the paste…

I prepared the stuff for the paste before I started frying the fish then started cooking the paste after I turned the fish they were both done at the same time.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Preheat Oven:350°F | 175°C

Servings:2

Prep Time:15 minutes

Cooking Time:if done in parallel, 15-20 minutes

Fish:

Ingredients:

• Little olive oil for the pan
• Sea Bass (I used whole and just cut off the heads to fit them into the pan)
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 60-70c/140-160f
2. Wash the fish
3. Cut off the heads
4. Dry the fish in paper towels
5. (optional) Salt and Pepper the fish in an out
6. Slice diagonal slots “/” in the skin of the fish (looks nice)
7. Heat oil in a frying pan on high
8. Once the oil is hot put the fish in the pan and fry for 3 minutes
9. Turn the hob down to medium and fry for an additional 5 minutes without turning the fish
10. Turn the fish and fry for an additional 5-7
11. Place fish in the pre-heated oven while you make the paste

Paste:

Ingredients:

• 3 garlic cloves
• bunch of coriander
• 1 chili (I used a whole dried cayenne pepper, something with a kick will do, but it won’t be hot so don’t be scared)
• about an inch of ginger
• 2 spring onions
• Soy sauce
• Olive Oil

Directions:

1. Blitz the Garlic, ginger, chili, two pinches of salt and olive oil to get the consistency of pesto (a bit more oily than that)
2. Set aside garlic mixture
3. Blitz the coriander and spring onions
4. set that aside
5. Heat the garlic mixture in a small/medium saucepan on high add a bit of soy sauce and stir till boiling/frying
6. Add the coriander mixture stir till fully wilted
7. Remove from heat

Combine:

Plate the fish and put a spoonfull or two of the paste mixture on top of the fish

Side note, if you don’t want to fry the bass you can do the following

Make the paste as described above
