Nothing says heart healthy like grilled fish with vegetables. This mouth watering recipe will have you try it more than once. If you cannot get sea bass at your local fish market, as for their recommendation.
You can also add a tossed green salad to compliment the dish. Remember to use a low fat dressing but I like using fresh squeezed lemons or limes and a touch of olive oil.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- ½ teaspoon grated or minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon sugar substitute
- Non-Dressing
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- ½ pound asparagus, tough ends removed
- Four 5-ounce black sea bass fillets, skinned and all
- pin bones removed
- 6 ounces mixed greens, washed, dried and
- refrigerated until ready to serve (about 6 cups)
- Pickled ginger, optional
Instructions:
1) Light the grill or preheat the broiler.
2) Combine all of the dressing ingredients with 1 tablespoon water in a blender.
3) Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add the corn and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain, refresh in cold water, and place in a salad bowl. Cook the asparagus in simmering water to cover until just tender, about 2 minutes for pencil thin asparagus. Drain, refresh in cold water, and set aside.
4) Grill or broil the sea bass for about 6 minutes per side, turning once; use the tip of a sharp knife to test for tenderness. The fish should be opaque in the center. Remove from the heat and allow to rest while you finish preparing the dish.
5) Add the greens to the salad bowl. Whisk the dressing for a few seconds and toss with the greens and corn. Divide among 4 plates, then decorate each serving with the reserved asparagus, forming a circle around the corn and greens. Top each plate with a piece of sea bass. Garnish with a twist of pickled ginger, if using.
