Ingredients for Striped Bass with Heirloom Tomato Scampi

• 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

• 4 striped bass fillets (170g each)

• Sal y pimienta negra recién molida

• Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

• 1/2 bunch thyme sprigs

• 3 tablespoons Roasted Garlic Oil (page 93)

• 6 dientes de ajo, finamente picados

• 2 shallots, finely diced

• 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, toasted in a dry skillet

• 4 celery ribs, sliced 1/4 inch thick

• 1 tablespoon drained, chopped capers

• 60ml de vino blanco seco

• 1 cucharada de vinagre de vino tinto

• Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

• 1.4kg mixed heirloom tomatoes, cut in wedges

• 1 cup tightly packed hand-torn fresh basil leaves

Precalienta el horno a 177°C.

In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice. Once the oil begins to shimmer, place the fillets skin-side-down in the pan and let them cook, without moving them, until the skin is crisp and golden brown, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Give a light push to loosen the skin from the pan. Add the thyme sprigs to the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove fish from the oven and transfer to paper towels.

In a large skillet, heat the garlic oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and fennel seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the celery and capers and cook until the celery has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and cook until it is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar, lemon zest and juice, tomatoes, and basil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to incorporate the flavours and heat the tomatoes through.

Serve the bass fillets topped with the tomato scampi.
