STRIPED BASS WITH YUZU KOSHO AND WILTED SPINACH

Steps:

• Place sake and mirin in a nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until reduced by two thirds. Remove from heat and add yuzu kosho. Using an immersion blender, blend to combine. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) butter into small cubes and add to saucepan. Using the immersion blender, blend to combine. Season with salt, zest of 1 yuzu, and a few drops of yuzu juice; keep warm and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season fish on both sides with Maldon sea salt and espelette pepper. When butter has melted, add fish to skillet, skin-side down; reduce heat to low and cook, basting with butter and olive oil from skillet, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and add thyme and one garlic clove to skillet; cook, continuing to baste, until fish is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Remove fish from skillet and transfer to a small lightly oiled baking sheet; let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes. Preheat broiler.
• Wipe skillet clean with a clean paper towel. Add remaining tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium heat. Insert the tines of a fork into remaining clove of garlic and set aside. Add spinach to skillet and season with salt; cook, stirring with garlic clove attached to fork, until spinach is wilted.
• Transfer spinach to a paper-towel-lined plate. Gently reheat fish under a broiler until just heated through. Divide spinach evenly among 4 warmed plates and top each with a piece of fish.
• Strain sauce; using an immersion blender, briefly blend sauce to reincorporate. Spoon sauce around fish and top with yuzu zest, if using; serve immediately.

STRIPED BASS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and thyme and cook until the shallots are translucent, about 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and tender, about 8 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs.
• Meanwhile, season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add the wine to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Boil over high heat until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and simmer to thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the cream sauce over the mushrooms in the skillet, then add the fish, skin-side up. Simmer until the fish is just firm and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Season with salt and espelette pepper. Add sake to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet; cook until sake is reduced by half.
• Add chicken stock and 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice; season with salt and espelette pepper. Add rosemary sprigs and let cook until liquid is reduced by half. Using a slotted spoon remove mushrooms and rosemary; set mushrooms aside and discard rosemary.
• Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, using an immersion blender to combine. Add mushrooms and stir to coat. Set mushrooms aside in a warm place.
• Preheat broiler; lightly oil a small baking sheet and set aside. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof pan over high heat. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.

Remove from broiler and keep warm.
