Seabass

Sautéed Wild Mushrooms and Vegetables

Yellow Rice

Method

Prepare the Yellow Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat, add the butter, fluff with a fork, and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the zucchini and bell pepper into thin strips, and mince the garlic.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the wild mushrooms, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened.

  3. 6

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the zucchini, bell pepper, garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.

Cook the Seabass

  1. 7

    Season the Seabass

    Pat the seabass fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice.

  2. 8

    Pan-sear the Seabass

    In the same skillet used for the vegetables, add more olive oil if necessary and heat over medium-high heat. Place the seabass fillets skin-side down in the skillet.

  3. 9

    Cook Until Golden

    Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Plating

  1. 10

    Serve

    On a plate, create a bed of the sautéed wild mushrooms and vegetables. Top with the pan-seared seabass fillet and serve alongside the fragrant yellow rice.
