Striped Bass with Tomatoes, Corn, and Basil

Striped Bass with Tomatoes, Corn, and Basil

Depending on your tolerance for spice, use either jalepenos or the more fiery serrano peppers. It's a good idea to wear rubber gloves when handling chiles to avoid burning your skin. If you can't find striped bass, try snapper or wild salmon instead. Per serving: 296 calories; 31 grams protein; 11 grams fat; 13 grams carb; 2 grams fiber

  • Prep Time 30 minutes
  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 4 striped bass fillets, skin on (about 5 ounces each)
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/2 jalapeno or serrano pepper, ribs and seeds removed, very thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup dry white wine
    • 2 ears of corn, husks and silk removed, kernels scraped off
    • 6 ounces (1 generous cup) cherry tomatoes, quartered
    • 1/2 cup chopped basil
    • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season fish with salt and pepper, and sear, skin side down, for 4 minutes. With a wide metal spatula, turn fish over and cook 1 minute. Do not cook through. Remove from the pan; set aside.
  2. Add onion to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and the edges begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
  3. Add jalapeno, wine, 1/4 cup water, corn, tomatoes, and fish, skin side up. Cover and cook 4 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through; transfer, skin side up, to four wide shallow bowls. Stir basil and cilantro into vegetable mixture and spoon around fish.
