Seafood

Bouillabaisse Sauce

Method

Prepare Bouillabaisse Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Base

    In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Stock

    Stir in diced tomatoes, fish stock, saffron, fennel, orange zest, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and strain the sauce to remove solids. Keep warm.

Cook the Black Bass

  1. 4

    Steam the Fish

    Place black bass fillets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Plate the Dish

  1. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, place a portion of the bouillabaisse sauce, top with the steamed black bass, and garnish with sliced spring onions and black olives.
