Fish

Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    Pat the Colorado striped bass fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Fish

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Spinach Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Spinach

    In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the Bloomsdale spinach, salt, and black pepper, cooking until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

Artichokes Barigoule Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Artichokes

    In a saucepan, combine the artichoke hearts, shallots, white wine, vegetable broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is reduced and flavors meld.

Brown Butter Herb Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Brown Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, parsley, chives, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Plating

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a bed of sautéed spinach, top with the seared striped bass, spoon over the artichokes barigoule, and drizzle with the brown butter herb sauce. Serve immediately.
