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.
