Mick'S Chilean Sea Bass
- 1/2 - 3/4 pounds sea bass fillet per person
- 1/2 pinch of Essence (Emeril's "Bam") per side of each fillet
- white wine (Chardonnay, sweet saki, lieframilch)
- butter
- virgin olive oil
- Make sure each fillet is free of cartilage and bone.
- Cover each side of each fillet with 1/2 pinch (or more) of Essence
- Place fillets in glass (or other non-reactive) shallow bowl
- Cover with wine. Cover glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours (up to 12 hours. The fish will absorb the sugar from the wine)
- Remove fillets and dry them with paper towels. Reserve liquid.
- In a heated skillet, add equal amounts of butter and oil, enough to brown fillets in batches
- After fillets are browned, deglaze the skillet with the reserved liquid
- Place fillets and the liquid from the skillet in a roasting pan under the broiler (but on the upper or middle oven rack - not directly under the coils or it will flame)
- When the fillets flake and caramelize, serve immediately.
- A good compliment is garlic-mashed potatoes and asparagus (brush asparagus with olive oil, sprinkle with a little Bam, and grill on an open fire or gas barbecue)
