Striped Bass Recipes

!±8± Striped Bass Recipes

How delicious is striped bass? It's pretty freakin' delicious, especially when cooked properly. Here are some of my favorite recipes for cooking striped bass. Enjoy!

Roasted Striped Bass

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

1/2 cup minced fresh parsley

2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

1 tbsp. minced fresh thyme

2 tbsp. minced fresh basil

salt and pepper

4 center-cut pieces of striped bass (each 1/2 pound and about 1 1/2 inches thick)

2 tbsp. Olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Place the fish pieces on waxed paper. With your hands, generously rub the oil on both sides of the fish. Sprinkle the bread crumb-herb mixture evenly on the fish, then pat it so that it adheres. Place the fish on a cake rack in a roasting pan. Roast until the fish just flakes, 10 to 15 minutes. To crisp the top, turn the oven to broil and place the fish under the broiler for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately. Note: This may be prepared 4 hours in advance through step 3 (except for preheating the oven) and refrigerated.

Spanish Style Striped Bass

2 lbs. Striped Bass fillets, trimmed and cut into serving size portions 2 tomatoes, medium size, thinly sliced 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped 1 cucumber, small, thinly sliced 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1 clove garlic minced 2 tbsp. Butter or margarine 2 tbsp. Parsley 1 tbsp. White wine 2 tbsp. Lemon juice 1/2 tsp. Marjoram

Prepare striped bass fillets by cutting fillets in half removing the dark flesh along the dark lateral line that runs through the center of the fillet. Also remove any dark flesh on the side of the fillet that had the skin and along the belly area. Cut trimmed fillets into serving size portions and place in a greased baking dish. Arrange tomato and cucumber slices on top of the fish. In a saucepan, cook onion, green pepper and minced garlic in butter until onion is tender but not brown. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, wine, lemon juice and marjoram. Spoon sauce over the fish. Bake in an oven preheated to 375¡F for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish begins to flake easily with a fork.

Let's Fire Up Something Sweet

!±8± Let's Fire Up Something Sweet

From ancient times man has associated fire with food. So why not take time today to discover the joys of cooking over a Fire Pit. Just imagine, you and your closest friends gathered around a burning circle, creating scrumptiously sweet delights over the hot coals.

When thinking of a dessert to make over an open fire, the first treat that comes to mind is good, old-fashioned S-Mores. And while you may have a sense of "been there, done that" about this classic, there still remains room for some creativity. So why not try setting up S'More bar and challenge your guests to create the most interesting and tasty combination of ingredients.

Basic S'Mores are a combination three elements: the cookie, the meltable item and something to heat up over the fire. We will first discuss cookie choices. While everyone knows that graham crackers are the classic, a large chocolate chip or sugar cookie will work just as well. You can also use a short bread or chocolate wafers. Or purchased rice cereal treats. (Unless you are very careful, the homemade variety may be too soft). There are many other choices for the outside of the S'More. Must make sure the cookie you choose is about the size of a graham cracker and is solid enough to hold up when pressed together with the other ingredients.

Now we move on to the chocolate factor. In addition to the typical chocolate bar, you can also put out less traditional bar styles, such as those containing crispy rice or nuts. You can even try chocolate covered peppermints and chocolate peanut butter cups.

Finally, there is the question of what to heat over the fire. Here is where it can get tricky. While you may want to stick to the traditional marshmallow, there are still a few other options. One is a chunk of banana. Roast it until it is hot and soft and you can treat it just like you would a marshmallow. You can also use a slice of peach or apple, but it will take longer to soften. There are other options but remember that whatever you choose must be firm enough to stay on the roasting stick but soft enough, when heated, to hold the other ingredients together.

So gather a few friends and few ingredients around a burning Fire Pit and bring a sweet end to everyone's day.
