I made the mistake of trying to juice ginger. In my fancy juicer that presses the juice out of things. Well, out of juicy things. Which ginger is not. I almost broke my fancy juicer that I don’t want to replace. I also tried to add these funny apple-pears to add juice. It didn’t fucking work becuase they also aren’t juicy enough. So I had to clean it out a second time. Soooo much fiber from the ginger. Any who. I was planning on making some magical ginger cordial.
I used a small amount of the precious ginger juice in this recipe and will have to rethink my cordial.
What you need:
Soy sauce.
Ginger (only a tiny amount, that shit is spicy!). Or chop up peeled ginger into tiny bits.
Shallots.
Green onions.
Honey (for a fancy drizzle at the end).
Sea bass.
What you do:
Mix the soy sauce, ginger, shallots, and green onions together.
Marinate the sea bass in the mixture. 30 min is enough. Often I say more is better in this case it isn’t. Sea bass is too fragile to handle overnight or long marinating.
Put it in a well-greased pan and cook at 350 0F for about 12 min. Check it. If it isn’t done at the 12 min mark leave it in but check it constantly. Like every minute–sea bass is finicky. If you overcook sea bass you will go to hell.
I also figured out that you can microwave the fish if it isn’t quite done. In 10 second intervals. How, you might ask, did I find this out? It’s because my kids are shits. They got hangry so I got the fish on the plates and tried to get them to eat. But it wasn’t quite done and they threw a fit! So I microwaved it at 10 second intervals until it was flaky, DO NOT GO FOR MORE! I’m trying to save your soul here.
Drizzle honey on top like a fancy restaurant. I thought the kids would at least want to eat something with honey on it. Nope they did not.
Did I mention my kids are shits and did not appreciate the fact that this would cost as much as one of their bikes in a fancy restaurant (depending on how much sea bass you’re dealing with)?
My husband and I enjoyed all the fish and the kids had PBJ’s. My husband loved it so much and was so effusive about how good it tasted, I wonder if he would accept this in place of more adult activity.
