Striped Bass w/ Putenesca Sauce
Ingredients
Puttanesca:
1/4 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
4 Large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
3 Anchovies, roughly chopped or mashed with a fork
1/4 cup Capers
3/4 cup Pitted Moroccan oil-cured black olives, roughly chopped
1/2 cup White wine
6 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
4 (6-ounce) striped bass fillets, skinned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Small bunch basil, stemmed, for garnish
Potatoes:
1 pound Fingerling potatoes, parboiled for about 12 to 15 minutes, drained and cooled
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preparation
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until just fragrant, 1 minute. Add the anchovies, capers and olives and cook until the anchovies have begun to dissolve in the oil, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and the Basic Tomato Sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the fish fillets, making sure they are submerged in the sauce, and gently simmer until the fish is cooked through and the flesh is milky white and slightly flaky, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, cut each fingerling in half lengthwise and place in a medium bowl. Toss well with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes.
