Chilean Sea Bass

Executive Chef Fred Castan
Sofitel Chicago Water Tower


Chilean sea bass with green pea puree, porcini mushrooms and garlic confit emulsion

20 ounces green peas
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 ounce butter
1 ounce heavy cream
3 ounces white wine
1 ounce chopped shallots
6 ounces fish stock
1 ounce butter
1 ounce flour
1 ounce heavy cream
6 ounces of frozen porcini
Garlic confit (4 garlic cloves cooked in olive oil 1 hour over low heat)
3 ounces white wine
10 7-ounce portions Chilean sea bass
2 tablespoons porcini powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup water
1 lemon, sliced
5 ounces micro greens

Make green pea puree: Cook green peas in boiling water, ice it down and strain it well and push through vegetable mild fine screen. Strain it overnight over a cheese cloth. Season if needed. Add a touch of cream and some butter.
Make a porcini sauce: Reduce by half the white wine and add shallots. Add some fish stock. Make roux from butter and flour by melting butter and adding flour to form a paste. Cook until blond in color. Add roux and cream to wine sauce stirring constantly.
In a separate pan lightly saute sliced frozen porcini until caramelized, add some garlic confit and deglaze with white wine. Blend it with white wine sauce. Blend with a bit of cream before serving to make emulsion.
Dust fish with porcini powder and pan sear it.
Lemon confit: Boil sugar and water for 1 minute to make simple syrup. Add lemon slices to syrup and cook for about 5 minutes.

Presentation
