STRIPED BASS IN
GINGER VINAIGRETTE
You could also use red snapper in this recipe.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled
2 large shallots
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
salt
freshly ground white pepper
4 striped bass fillets, 6 ounces each
1 bunch cilantro or Italian parsley, roughly chopped, plus a few whole leaves for garnish
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds for garnish
METHOD
1.
Mince ginger and shallots in bowl of food processor fitted with multi-
purpose blade.
2. Add vinegar, olive oil, lime juice and soy sauce to ginger and shallots.
Pulse for a few seconds to combine.
3. Turn food processor to the lowest speed and add the sesame oil and salt
and pepper to taste through the feed tube.
4. Season the striped bass on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill it over
high heat until lightly done or sauté it in a little butter and oil. Striped bass
fillets that are only 1/2 inch thick take only 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
5. Just before serving, mix the cilantro or parsley into the vinaigrette. (This
prevents the herbs from turning dark.)
PRESENTATION
Make a pool of the ginger vinaigrette on dinner plates at room temperature. Top with
the grilled fish. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and a few cilantro or parsley
leaves.

Cleaning Your Food Processor
Be sure the processor is unplugged before cleaning. Remove bowl,
cover and all attachments and wash in warm, soapy water. Wipe the
processor body with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads on the bowl or cover as these may scratch
or mar the surface. Never immerse the housing, cord or plug in water
or any other liquid.
For best results and to avoid food from becoming stuck on any parts,
clean accessories, bowl and lid immediately after each use.
Use caution when cleaning the blades and disks as these parts are
very sharp.
Store the bowl and lid in the unlocked position when not in use. Store
all accessories in a safe location out of the reach of children.
