step 1
ingredients 3 cups Porcini Mushrooms (thoroughly cleaned and ends trimmed)
instructions Using a pastry brush, dust fresh porcini free of all dirt. Thinly slice.
step 2
ingredients Extra Virgin Olive Oil Salt and Pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chopped Parsley
instructions In a medium size saute pan heat 4 to 5 tablespoons of olive oil. When hot, add the sliced mushrooms. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Saute the mushrooms to a rich golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes. Toss in the parsley at the last moment off the heat.
step 3
ingredients 5 8-ounce fillets of Wild Striped Bass
instructions Pat the skin of the wild striped bass with a paper towel to make sure it is thoroughly dry. Score the skin of the fish fillets twice and season with salt and pepper.
step 4
ingredients
instructions In another saute pan over medium high heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Lay the fish fillets skin side down in the pan, and gently press down with a fish spatula so the fillets don't arch out of the pan. This will ensure an even browning of the skin. After about 3-4 minutes, flip the fillets and cook on the flesh side for about 2 minutes more.
step 5
ingredients Aged Balsamic Vinegar
instructions Place one portion of fish on a warm plate and top with a spoonful of the porcinis. Drizzle with a good quality olive oil and an aged balsamic vinegar.
