Sea Bass with Japanese Flavours

A pack of frozen sea bass that had been lurking in the freezer for sometime and a shiny green courgette fresh from the garden were the starting point for this Japanese inspired meal.


Sliced shallots and a large spring onion were fried in vegetable oil before adding plenty of chopped garlic and ginger. Add the raw sliced courgette and some broccoli cut into small florets. Cook for a few minutes then add a small amount of chicken stock (it doesn't want to be too wet) simmer for 5 minutes while you prepare the fish. 

A couple of months ago I made some 7 spice powder for this chicken dish  https://annsfooddiary.blogspot.com/2020/05/yakitori-or-grilled-chicken-skewers.html and had plenty left so decided to add some spice to the sea bass.




Mix a generous amount of cornflour with two teaspoons of 7 spice powder remembering it has quite a kick. Coat the sea bass on both sides and fry in a hot pan skin side down for 2/3 minutes then turn over for a couple more. 

Turn off the heat and while the fish is resting add some teriyaki or similar sauce to the vegetables (I used a mix of honey, soy sauce, rice wine plus a splash of sesame oil)

You can buy 7 spice seasoning ready prepared in the herb and spice section of most supermarkets.
