STRIPED BASS IN
GINGER VINAIGRETTE
You could also use red snapper in this recipe.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
2 large shallots, minced
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. Combine the ginger, shallots, vinegar, olive oil, lime juice and soy sauce
in a small bowl or beaker.
2. Using hand blender to whisk vigorously, add the sesame oil, salt and
pepper to taste.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Care & Cleaning
1. Unplug the unit from the outlet.
2. Hold the blade portion of the hand blender under hot running
water to rinse clean.
3. If food particles are not easily rinsed off the hand blender blade,
place a drop of dish detergent in a mixing container with one cup
of warm water. Plug cord into outlet. Immerse the blade portion
and operate the unit for about 10 seconds. Unplug, rinse under
hot water, then dry.
4. Simply wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth. Never hold
the motor base under running water.
5. Do not use pointed or sharp objects to remove food particles
under the blade.
6. If the plastic parts of the unit become discolored (i.e. after
processing carrots), wipe these areas clean with cooking oil.
7. To clean the food chopper attachment, remove the bowl cover
first, then the chopping blade and the blade shaft.
8. Do not immerse the chopper bowl cover in water. Wipe with a
damp cloth using dishwashing liquid if necessary.
9. The chopper bowl and chopping blade can be washed in warm
water with commercial dishwashing liquids. In order not to
damage the bowl, it is recommended not to use abrasive or harsh
cleansers.
10. Removable parts may be washed either by hand or in the
dishwasher. If using a dishwasher, place all parts in the top rack.
Do not place motor base or chopper bowl cover in dishwasher.
11.
Important:
Do not try to sharpen the cutting edges of the blade. It
has been precision honed at the factory and will be damaged by
any attempted sharpening.
