Citrus and vermouth marinated sea bass with jalapeno Recipe
My husband half-remembered this recipe from his parents’ “Fresh Ways with Seafood” cookbook. His re-creation is completely delicious-with a fresh, buttery, vibrant, complex flavor and a nice jalapeno kick-and is our favorite fish recipe. We are usually too interested in eating to get a picture, but I’ll try for one next time we make it.
- 1 lb mild flavored white fish, like sea bass or corvina
- 1 large jalapeno, diced or minced
- 3 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 diced green onion
- Juice from 1 lime
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2 Tbsp orange juice
- 1/2 C vermouth or other white wine
- 1 pinch mace or allspice
- Salt and pepper
- 2 pats of butter
- Preheat oven to 450. Mix all ingredients except fish and butter.
- Put fish in a baking dish; pour mixture over fish. Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Bake 10 minutes per inch of fish thickness. Our filets of corvina took 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, add butter on top, serve

I agree - very sophisticated yet easy to prepare! Really liked it. Thank you. Had it with a glass of white wine, some salad, and some fresh focacia bread on the side.
