Ratatouille Recipes

See our Recipes for Ratatouille here.

For the Fish

4 wild striped bass fillets
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 T.
4 garlic cloves
4 thyme sprigs
black pepper and sea salt

Score the fish a couple of times in the thickened region. Heat a tablespoon of fat or oil in a non-stick frying pan. Season both side of the fish. Saute the fillet skin side down, pressing the fillet down with a spatula in the beginning of the sear to prevent the fish from curling up. Leave the fish to sear skin side down basting the flesh side ocassionally with the fat or oil. After about two minutes the flesh side will begin to turn opaque. Flip the fish and turn off the heat to let it cook through. A knife should easily slide through the fish. Let the fish rest for 1 minute off the heat.
