Oven-Baked Sea Bass with Mashed Peas & Leek Ash
Description
This Oven-Baked Sea Bass with Mashed Peas & Leek Ash combines simple, fresh ingredients to highlight the natural flavors of the fish. The sea bass is cleaned, seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then baked gently to maintain its moist texture. The mashed peas are boiled and blended with butter, yielding a smooth, creamy accompaniment that balances the fish.
What distinguishes this dish is the leek ash, created by baking leeks until completely blackened, then grinding them into a powder. This adds a smoky, earthy note when sprinkled over the meal. The dish pairs well as a wholesome main course, offering both protein and vegetable components.
Leek ash can be prepared in advance and stored in a sealed container for convenience. The pea mash should be seasoned after cooking to taste. Baking times are about 25 to 30 minutes at 180°C.
