Grilled fillet of sea bass, vanilla mash and Mediterranean vegetables
Ingredients
- 8 x 200g fillets of sea bass, descaled
- 1.5kg potatoes (Maris piper, King Edward or Desiree)
- 250g unsalted butter
- 2 vanilla pods
- 2 medium courgettes chopped to 1.5cm
- 1 red pepper, chopped to 1.5cm
- 1 yellow pepper, chopped to 1.5cm
- 1 medium white onion, chopped to 1.5cm
- 1 small bulb of fennel, chopped to 1.5cm
- 4 plum tomatoes
- 50ml Pernod or Ricard
- 75g tomato puree
- 200ml fish stock
- Olive oil
- Fried basil leaves for garnish
Wash, peel and cut the potatoes, then cover with cold salted water in a saucepan and bring to the boil, cooking for 20-25 minutes until soft. Drain into a colander and leave to stand for the water to drain away, then tip back into the pan and mash with 75g of unsalted butter. Slice the vanilla pods lengthways and deseed by running a small knife along the inside of the pod. Add the vanilla seeds to the potato and season with salt and white pepper. This vanilla mashed potato can be prepared in advance and reheated in the microwave.
Chop the courgettes, red pepper, yellow pepper, onion and fennel to uniform size pieces, keeping them separate. Blanch, skin and de-seed the tomatoes, leaving only the flesh, and dice into the same 1.5cm pieces. In a sauté pan, cook the onion and fennel without colour in a little olive oil and 50g of the butter for 3-4 minutes. Add first the red and yellow peppers, then the courgettes, and cook for a further 3 minutes before adding the alcohol, tomato puree, and fish stock. Slowly simmer for another 10 minutes. Finally add the diced tomato and remove from the heat.
Brush the sea bass fillets with butter and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place on a baking tray skin side up and grill for 4-5 minutes until cooked though.
To serve, divide the mashed potato into deep bistro-style bowls and place the sea bass on top. Spoon the Mediterranean vegetable sauce around and garnish with deep fried basil leaves and extra virgin olive oil.
