Chef Avi Miller has presented a festive recipe for sea bass fillet, featuring a flavorful tomato and herb sauce, topped with a crispy kadayif (shredded pastry) garnish. This dish is suitable for a Shabbat meal or special entertaining, with many components that can be prepared in advance.
The recipe involves preparing crispy kadayif discs by baking them until golden. A spiced tomato sauce is made by simmering grated tomatoes with sugar and spices, then finishing with olive oil. A fresh herb mixture, including cilantro, parsley, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, is prepared to coat the fish.
Sea bass fillets are seasoned with the herb mixture and then pan-seared with their skin-side down in olive oil until golden. Pine nuts are added to the pan during the final minute of cooking. The dish is assembled by spooning the warm tomato sauce onto plates, topping it with the seared sea bass and pine nuts, and finally placing a crispy kadayif disc on top just before serving to maintain its crunch.
Chef Miller emphasizes that the kadayif should be added at the last moment to prevent it from becoming soggy from the sauce. The preparation is demonstrated in a video, showcasing how to elevate a simple fish fillet into an impressive dish.
