The sweet-pepper sauce, built around flavorful roasted red peppers, is a perfect accompaniment for striped bass. For a satisfying side dish, serve this fish with roasted broccoli, asparagus, or baby potatoes.

Ingredients

Roasted red peppers (packed in water)

7 oz, (not oil packed), drained

Balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp

Garlic

2 clove(s), coarsely chopped

Table salt

¾ tsp

Fresh basil

3 Tbsp, fresh, chopped

Uncooked striped bass

24 oz, 4 (6-ounce)

Black pepper

½ tsp

Olive oil

2 tsp

Instructions

  1. To make the sauce, in a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peppers, vinegar, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and puree. Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce just begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Keep warm.
  2. Sprinkle the bass fillets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. In a large nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook until the fish is just opaque in the center, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve with the sauce. Yields 1 bass fillet and 2 tablespoons sauce per serving.
