Crust and Caponata

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant Caponata

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced eggplant, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the raisins, capers, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the flavors meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crab Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, crab meat, parsley, basil, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bass

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the wild striped bass fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the crab mixture evenly over each fillet.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fillets

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the eggplant caponata on the bottom and place the crab crusted wild striped bass on top. Enjoy!
