One
of my favorite recipes is this easy to prepare delicious
striper dish.
2 pounds fresh fillet of striped
bass. Fillets should be around 1 inch thick. Make sure your
fillets have
ALL red
meat removed from them. The fillets should be all white
and no red. 1/2 stick unsalted butter
Lemon pepper
2 tbsp bacon bits
2 lemons
white rice
3 green onions
1/2 cup white wine
Rice - Make four servings of rice
before you begin your fish cooking. Time your cooking so
that you
begin cooking your
fish when the rice has about ten minutes left to cook.
Fish - Melt
1/2 stick of butter in a 10" iron skillet
over medium heat. Add bacon bits to the butter and squeeze
the juice from one lemon to the skillet. The pan should be
hot, but not enough to brown the butter. Add fillets to the
pan and cook for about three minutes per side. Generously
sprinkle lemon pepper to each side of the fillet as you turn
it. At this time your fish should be fully cooked (roughly
7 minutes). Add wine to the skillet. To finish add your chopped
green onions to the pan and cook for an additional minute.
Serve
immediately once your fish and rice are done. Scoop rice
on to plate and place fish directly onto the rice. Add
pan drippings to the rice and fish. This savory treat is
ready to eat. serve with a chilled fruit forward white
wine. Good choices for your wine pairing will be a chardonay
or
a pinot grigio. If you like soy sauce then try a Tamari
style soy sauce like SANJ. The flavor of food comes out better
with Tamari and is less salty tasting.
