kcalA light and flavorful dish featuring tender striped bass topped with sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant basil.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 striped bass fillets, skin on (about 5 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 jalapeno or serrano pepper, ribs and seeds removed, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 ears of corn, kernels scraped off
6 ounces (1 generous cup) cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup chopped basil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the striped bass fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the white wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the corn and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, just until softened.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil and cilantro.
- Serve the corn and tomato mixture over the striped bass fillets, garnishing with extra herbs if desired.
